The R8 Mark II

CHF 32'900.00

The R8 MKII is a sleek evolution of Roland Iten’s original 2003 HE 8 / R8 MK I collection. Its patented “double ardillon tang,” originally a military design from the 15th century, finds renewed relevance by securely gripping the leather strap, ensuring durability and smooth expansion and contraction.

Ideal for maneuvering in sports cars or tucking in a shirt, the Calibre R8 MK II Mechanical Belt Buckle blends technical precision with elegance. The one-handed lever system offers discreet adjustments with a precise 35mm expansion, mirroring the two-thumb measurement in custom suits for added comfort.

This collection marries traditional craftsmanship with Swiss micro-mechanics, akin to fine watchmaking.

100% manufactured and hand-finished in Switzerland, the R8 MK II features a five-axle construction with over 110 movable parts and is available in two versions: the Sport Coupe Steel and Engineered Titanium, and the Sport Coupe Steel with Engineered Titanium and Red Gold Accents.

Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery of your buckle once your payment is confirmed.
