Introducing the Howard Hughes FlyRacer Chronograph
The Howard Hughes FlyRacer Chronograph takes the aviation spirit of the original Hughes line and gives it a cleaner, sportier edge. With a slimmer 40mm case, tachymeter chapter ring and Seiko VK64 mecha-quartz movement, it’s built for everyday wear with a nod to the golden age of air racing.
A Sleeker Sports Chronograph
The FlyRacer has a slimmer feel on the wrist than the original Howard Hughes Chronograph, with applied indices, inset sub-dials and a sharp tachymeter scale around the outer dial. It keeps the character of the Hughes collection, but in a more refined, daily-wearable format.
Specifications & Key Features
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Movement | Japanese VK64 mecha-quartz — offering the tactile click of mechanical chronograph reset with quartz reliability. |
| Case Diameter | 40 mm — an optimal size that pairs presence with polish. |
| Thickness | 11 mm — slender enough for daily wear, yet substantial in hand. |
| Crystal | Sapphire — scratch-proof and clear. |
| Water Resistance | 5 ATM — safe from rain, splashes, and everyday exposure. |
| Strap | Genuine leather with dial-matching stitching and quick-release spring bars — comfort, style, and ease. Lug width: 21 mm. |
| Extra Features | 24-hour subdial, date display, lume on primary time hands. |
| Design Varieties | Available in multiple colour-ways: Classic Retro Cream, Toybox Yellow, Retro Military Green, Midnight Blue, Racing Green, Sky Blue Silver — each with its own distinct palette. |
Why the FlyRacer Resonates
-
Subtle Sophistication – Its thinner, smaller case softens the silhouette slightly without losing edge: perfect under a cuff or on a weekend outing.
-
Layered Depth – Inset subdials and applied indices give dimensionality; the tachymeter ring adds both function and vintage racing heritage.
-
Precision & Versatility – The mecha-quartz movement provides accuracy, the chronograph and 24-hour complications add utility, and water resistance ensures ruggedness.
-
Character & Colour – With several dial-and-case colour options, the FlyRacer becomes more than a timekeeper; it’s an expression of personal taste.

Each FlyRacer arrives in a bespoke Riley Watch Co presentation box, backed by a 5-year warranty and a 30-day, no-questions-asked return policy. Every piece is crafted and shipped from the UK, which means what you see is the price you pay—even for international orders.
