Maurice de Mauriac has introduced the Rallymaster Swiss Tennis, a 130-piece automatic watch created with Swiss Tennis to mark the organization’s 130th anniversary. The production count deliberately mirrors the occasion, with one example allocated for every year since Swiss Tennis traces its history to 1896.
The new edition follows the proportions and mechanical architecture established by the Zurich workshop’s previous Rallymaster watches. Its 39 mm case is made from 316L stainless steel, measures 47.2 mm from lug to lug, and stands 12 mm high. Water resistance is rated to 100 meters. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the opaline silver dial, while a magnifier draws attention to the date display.
Carlton DeWoody’s tennis-informed design is more restrained here than on several earlier Rallymaster models. Swiss Tennis colors appear across the dial without turning the watch into literal sporting equipment, allowing the silver surface, applied markers, and compact case to carry most of the visual weight. A sapphire exhibition caseback bears the Swiss Tennis logo in red, printed on the inside of the crystal to protect it from wear.
Inside is the Landeron 24 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with 25 jewels. Maurice de Mauriac has used the same caliber and 39 mm format across previous tennis editions, giving the collection a recognizable mechanical foundation rather than rebuilding the concept for each tournament.
That continuity makes the watch a useful counterpart to the Rallymaster Korea Open. The Korea Open model used the tournament’s national color palette and a small-seconds display divided into 20-second increments, referencing the time allowed for a serve. The Swiss Tennis edition is calmer and more institutional, relying on its anniversary context and controlled production run instead of an overt tournament graphic.
The presentation box includes a specially made black tennis ball and an additional Milanese bracelet with quick-release fittings. Those details extend the sporting theme without placing more visual responsibility on the dial.
The broader Rallymaster line has become a recurring bridge between mechanical watchmaking and contemporary tennis culture, including collaborations with Racquet magazine and editions tied to specific tournaments. This version brings that formula back to Switzerland with a national rather than tournament-specific focus.
Priced at CHF 2,500, the Rallymaster Swiss Tennis is available for preorder, with deliveries scheduled to begin in early September. Its 130-piece production run is tidy anniversary arithmetic, but the established case, proven automatic caliber, and restrained dial give the commemoration more substance than a new logo on an existing watch.
