Each one has its own distinct character, with various strap options available. The C-04 is instantly striking, marking it out as a classic that is wearable in any setting.
Another exciting feature of the C-04 is its Japanese Mecha Quartz movement, which is a unique mix of quartz-operated timekeeping and a mechanically run chronograph. This allows the chronograph a stylish and appealing sweep, adding to its enduring personality.

Inspired by Geckota’s space-age design language and the company’s connection with motorsport, the recently-launched C-04 has been a couple of years in the making. The result is a striking design that perfectly encapsulates the cool retro era of the space race.
The C-04 showcases an eclectic mix of elegance, style and imaginative design, with each watch featuring a fixed full ceramic bezel with tachymeter, a multi-layered dial and a BGW09 SuperLuminova used throughout the hands and indices. It all adds up to a distinctive timepiece like no other on the market.
And this is far from the only racing watch made by the company. Geckota also produces the C-03 Racing watch, which also includes a limited-edition version designed in collaboration with an up-and-coming British racing driver.
This partnership began in 2018 when a young watch enthusiast and racing driver contacted Geckota wanting to collaborate on watch design. Scott McKenna is an 18-year-old British racer, who won the Ginetta GT5 Challenge last year with a future destined for GT and Le Mans racing.
In late 2018, Geckota began designing and creating his bespoke C-03, with the input of Scott and his team to help incorporate everything that was needed in a watch for a racing driver. The last few pieces of this strictly limited edition are still available for purchase, marking the first of many collectors’ items from Geckota.
