Wristwatches geared toward motorcyclists naturally tend toward the utilitarian. Saucer-dialed pilot’s watches and digital displays are certainly practical, but what if the wearer desires something a little more exotic, something that will peek out of a leather sleeve with a little menacing flash?

Formotion’s Snake Chronograph with its serpentine allure. (Click image to enlarge) Enter Formotion. The Sausalito, Calif.,–based business has been manufacturing onboard timepieces for Harley-Davidson and Victory motorcycles since 2000. The company has built a solid reputation for making gauges that withstand intense vibration and constant exposure to the elements.
The glittering Snake Chronograph, with its diamond-encrusted case and snakeskin band, speaks to Formotion’s desire to fuse its reputation for durable workmanship with a ruggedly chic look. Set on a rhodium-plated stainless steel barrel case, 252 clear, black, and brown diamonds totalling 1.55 carats are arrayed in a glittering Python pattern around a double curved mineral glass lens. The sleek tonneau shape gives the Snake an elegant retro feel while allowing for maximum flash from the gem configuration. Beneath the serpent’s skin, an ETA Swiss movement, a mother-of-pearl face, and PNP hands with super LumiNova for exceptional night visibility keep time. As an added complement to the resilient materials, the Snake is water resistant to five ATM (165 feet). The limited run of 250 numbered pieces combines Formotion’s ability to craft roadworthy timepieces and a masculine elegance in a package worth taking along for the ride.
