Treiber T54SL Gullwing
The First Car-Inspired Watch I’d Buy
By Vincent Deschamps on Mainspring Watch Magazine
“…the T54SL is nothing short of exceptional. If it makes someone like me—someone who doesn’t care for vintage automobiles—fall head over heels for it, then there might be something in it for you as well. Technically speaking, the Treiber Gullwing is a solid piece of horology made with good components. The finishing is sharp and consistent throughout, and the transitions between brushed and polished surfaces are superb. The crystal is clear and the lume is good. From a visual standpoint, well, you already know how I feel about it: I’m in love.”
The Gullwing
Drawing inspiration from the legendary Mercedes 300SL, known affectionately as "The Gullwing," Treiber's T54SL timepiece, embodies the spirit of automotive excellence and racing prowess. The 300SL isn't merely a car; it's a symbol of innovation, style, and dominance on the racetrack. With victories in prestigious events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Mille Miglia, it set the standard for performance and aesthetics.
Every curve, every gauge, every dash knob of the 300SL speaks volumes about its meticulous design and engineering. It's this attention to detail that serves as the cornerstone of our watch's design philosophy. The T54SL pays homage to the iconic car's distinctive features, from its sleek silhouette to its signature "eyebrow" wheel arches, which not only enhanced aerodynamics but also contributed to its record-breaking speed.
Design
Dial
The dial and handset of the T54SL are inspired by the gauges that once indicated fastest speed in the world for a production car of its time. The 300SL took the world by storm when it was unleashed in 1954 redefining speed and style. The dial colors also match some of the paint colors available on the 300SL.
Lugs
The unique and asymmetric lugs of the T54SL mimic the gentle curves of the ‘eyebrow’ wheel arches that once ruled the roads. The design serves both form and function. Much like the ‘eyebrows’ beautifully hug the 300SL’s wheels, improving aerodynamics, our watch lugs elegantly embrace your wrist.
Crown
The crown of the T54SL is inspired by the radio knobs on the 300SL. Like the radio knob, our crown has 12 facets providing the perfect mix of form and function. The crown also features Treiber’s wing logo etched into it.
