Watches by Roland Sands Designs

TGR Staff – 03/27/2020

Time Concepts has partnered with Champion American motorcycle racer and award-winning designer Roland Sands to release the Szanto ICON Roland Sands Signature Series of watches. The watches feature the signature Roland Sand Designs (RDS) industrial look and mimic many of the design elements of the motorcycles and motorcycle gear that the brand is known for.

I’m honored to partner with Time Concepts on the design and introduction of the Roland Sands Icon Watch, the resulting watch is a timepiece that embodies the love and passion that I have for racing, the motorcycling community and innovative design.

Each watch features a satin-brushed stainless case with a screw case back, a scratch-resistant mineral crystal, and 100 meters of water resistance. Featuring a Japanese-made quartz Miyota 2415 Day/Date movement. The strap is made of USA-sourced Horween leather, famous for its beauty and durability, it will quickly pick up the look of well-worn motorcycle boots and jackets and take on a vintage patina adding more character the longer it is worn. The straps feature easy on/off fingernail pull spring pins to allow for strap changes in a matter of seconds.

The unique watch design is meant to invoke the feeling of instruments on a bike and reflects his individualism, as is seen in his motorcycle creations, and exhibits a very vintage character. Roland was instrumental in the overall design of his watch series. We’re eager to share it with his fans.
