Project GTR 02R
This timepiece currently in development is a DNA Limited Edition, made from the legendary McLaren F1 – and not just any McLaren F1, but the GTR chassis no. 02R, the six-time race-winning endurance car that competed in a unique deep-blue Gulf livery and the equally legendary Ueno Clinic livery.
The McLaren F1 became a legend for redefining performance and design, as the last road-based, series-produced car to win Le Mans outright and the world’s fastest production car at its launch. Chassis 02R secured multiple endurance victories and remains the most winning McLaren F1 GTR.
This timepiece is a one-of-a-kind collaboration, combining original car DNA with Swiss horological craft. Powered by a custom Sellita AMT movement, each timepiece celebrates the spirit, grit, and race legacy of the McLaren F1 GTR Chassis 02R

Why does REC launch differently than other watch brands?
Why does REC launch differently than other watch brands?
At REC, we don’t spend a year sitting on a finished watch, waiting just to build hype or chase celebrity endorsements. We launch as soon as the timepiece is perfected, not a moment later. As you’re reading this, developing the timepiece made from the McLaren F1 GTR 02R.
That’s also why you’re seeing sketches and concept drawings, because the moment the watch is ready, we’ll open the curtains and show it to you. We want you to be part of the process, to see it take shape rather than discover it long after it’s done.
Because for us, it’s never just about a name on the dial. Every watch we make is about honouring history and telling stories that deserve to be told, one watch at a time. And you’re part of that story too. That’s why we open up about each project as soon as we can, even before the timepiece is finished: to bring you closer, earlier, and more honestly than most brands ever will.
What will the price be?
What will the price be?
At this stage in the project’s development, the final retail price has not yet been determined. If you’d like an idea of what to expect, take a look at our other collections — their pricing should give you a good indication.
What will the watches look like?
What will the watches look like?
In the images above, you can see early sketches and concept drawings of the timepiece. But as our experience in watchmaking has taught us, no sketch can truly capture how a finished timepiece feels in hand or looks on the wrist.
What will the timepiece be limited to?
What will the timepiece be limited to?
For all our DNA Editions, the total production is limited by the natural amount of material available — not by some arbitrary number from the marketing department.
As for this timepiece, it’s still in development, so we can’t yet confirm the exact number of pieces until the material has been processed into timepiece components.

What does the special launch offer include?
What does the special launch offer include?
We’re preparing a special launch offer for this project. While we can’t yet reveal the full details, one thing is certain: you don’t want to miss it.
For 48 hours only, you’ll be able to secure an exclusive launch-only price that will never return. This offer includes benefits reserved solely for those who show up at launch, along with early access before anyone else. The timepiece will be naturally limited by the scarce amount of original McLaren F1 GTR Chassis 02R material that’s available, and just a select few of those will be available during the launch offer.
We can’t reveal everything just yet due to ongoing collaborations and approvals, just know that we’re working tirelessly behind the scenes to make this project and launch worthwhile.

Collaboration Between Specialists
McLaren F1 GTR Chassis 02R
This project unites three specialists, each bringing their own legacy of craftsmanship, performance, and authenticity.
Ray Bellm, an endurance champion and widely viewed as the driving force behind the creation of the McLaren F1 GTR program, played a uniquely defining role in its history. The project might never have begun without his push, and once the car existed, he proved its worth.
Splitit installment payments at 0% interest: How does it work exactly?
Splitit allows you to split the total payment over a maximum of twelve months using your credit card. This service is free, involves no credit checks or applications, and means you can choose to split your payment into monthly installments.
To use this payment method all you need a credit card with a sufficient amount of available credit. Splitit authorizes the total order value—but don’t worry, this is not taken in full when you complete the purchase. At the time of shipping, only the first installment will be charged to your credit card. A payment authorization for the outstanding amount of your purchase will be held during for up to 30 days after placing your order.
After each monthly payment, the amount held from your available balance will be reduced to the new remaining balance (the held amount might appear as “pending”). To ensure that the authorization of your credit card is valid for the entire payment period, the authorization will be renewed every 21 days.
Are there any extra fees involved?
No, this is an interest-free payment method with no additional fixed fees, service fees, interest, or hidden fees of any kind.
Which credit cards does Splitit support?
You can pay using Splitit with a Mastercard or Visa cards. Debit cards and pre-paid cards are not accepted.
Do I have to maintain the required available credit amount on my credit card?
You must maintain a sufficient amount on your credit card for both the monthly payment and for the full outstanding amount of your purchase for up to 30 days after placing the order. The average authorization typically drops off within 5-10 working days. The authorized amount will be charged only in the event that a monthly payment is declined (the authorization hold might appear as “pending” on your credit card bill).
What happens if I return the product?
If you decide to not keep the ordered item(s), upon return of the items we will reimburse the installments that have already been paid and cancel the outstanding payments.
When and where can I choose the number of installments for my payment plan?
Installment payments with Splitit can be chosen as a payment option during the checkout process. Here, you can choose the number of installments in your payment plan and view the monthly payment amounts.
