Incorporated into a sleek three-prong buckle lever, the double tang grips the leather strap more securely, safeguards its longevity and affords smoother expansion and contraction.

This model was first launched in 2007 and has been by far, the most popular horse in the Roland Iten stable, no doubt due to its versatility in transitioning with ease from the golf course to the board room – or to accompany your most elegant business attire.

The 2022 re-issue in natural steel and titanium with varying degrees of rose gold accent, features models ranging from discreetly sober to gold-adorned. Of course, additional frosting can be added on request for that extra diamond-studded bling.

No matter which model strikes your fancy, the unique and most popular feature of the R8 MK II SPORT COUPE series is the double ardillon tang.

Incorporated into a sleek three-prong buckle lever, the double tang grips the leather strap more securely, safeguards its longevity and affords a smoother expansion and contraction.

Hand-finished by master craftsmen, two diamonds are discreetly embedded in the crowns as reflective indicators of the one-handed expansion manoeuvre, with one additional diamond set into the ring on the double ardillon tang.

The R8 MKII SPORT COUPE collection pieces are 100% engineered and manufactured in Switzerland with a specialised five-axle construction. They contain over 110 moveable roller bearings, plates and levers, contributing to the impeccable performance of this extraordinary mechanically performing belt buckle calibre.

Prices start at CHF 31’750.
