The RNR Beachrunner is a limited edition timepiece made from the 1981 Land Rover Series III, ‘Beachrunner’.
Daniel Espirito Santo, a Portuguese contemporary photographer and filmmaker, has chosen the laid-back approach to life most of us can only dream of.
For him, nothing symbolizes freedom in his life better than his not-so-trusty ’81 Series III – nicknamed ‘Beachrunner’ – which he refers to as his ultimate partner of adventure.

History
A symbol of life lived in the moment
Thanks to the endless sea breezes and the saltwater dripping from his surfboards, the roof of Daniel’s beloved 1981 series III Land Rover, the “Beachrunner”, had been slowly eaten away.
The vehicle was not only Daniel’s trusty companion on his daily adventures; it had also become a motorized emblem of his life-changing decision to escape the corporate rat race.
From roof to wrist
We used the sheet metal from the roof to stamp out 552 dials, each with its own unique patina to make sure no two RNR Beachrunners look the same.
After scraping away the residual paint and primer to expose the bare metal, we carefully applied a thin layer of transparent lacquer to obtain a completely fl at surface and form a vacuum, which halts any oxidation in its tracks.
A perfect marriage of form and function
Every aspect of the RNR Beachrunner design reflects the function and aesthetic of the classic Land Rover Series III.
It was a major challenge to successfully capture the vehicle’s design DNA, with the whole development process taking a year.

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. The remaining balance will be held on your credit card until the final payment has been made. However, a payment authorization for the outstanding amount of your purchase will be held during the full payment period.
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 card. Debit cards, American Express and pre-paid cards are not accepted.
Do I have to maintain the required available credit amount on my credit card?
Yes, you must maintain a sufficient amount on your credit card for both the monthly payment and for the full outstanding amount of your purchase during the full period of the plan. 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.
