Luxury timepiece designer Zenith introduces its new Energy X Prix timepiece that rounds out the Extreme E Racing collection which is full of sustainable designs. The latest honors the last race of the season, which is taking place in Punta del Este, Uruguay.
It is made from upcycled tires that are drawn from Continental CrossContact during Extreme E's first racing season. The watch is held by a bright tonal purple rubber strap with a plate covering that is made from a range of parts that are collected from an Extreme E racing tarp. Finally, the case's lid is constructed using recycled E-grip tires that are drawn from last year's race, and the body is made from carbon fiber.
