HTD · Hesagraph RitmoCorsa
The model in detail
Meet the watch
First comes the red, then the three white circles. The Hesagraph RitmoCorsa does not aim to disappear beneath a cuff: its contrasting dial recalls an instrument panel, while large pushers continue the racing theme. HTD connects this edition to five years of collaboration with its Scuderia HTD RitmoCorsa team. The watches are assembled in Florence; this is a review of an established model featured in 2026 coverage.
It helps to understand what the three registers do. The small seconds hand on the left runs with the watch. The right-hand register counts chronograph minutes up to 30, and the lower one counts hours up to 12. The long central hand measures seconds for a separate interval. This layout separates ordinary timekeeping from the stopwatch: a stopped chronograph does not mean the watch itself has stopped.

For some, this is a welcome daily connection with the mechanism; for others, it is another obligation. HTD does not state the power reserve for this particular version on the model page, so promising a specific interval between winding sessions would be inappropriate.
Details and limitations
The 39 mm diameter sounds modest, but the lug-to-lug length is 48 mm. That is the measurement to bear in mind when trying it on: a small circular case does not guarantee a compact fit. The stated 12.4 mm thickness already includes the raised sapphire crystal. Anyone accustomed to larger chronographs should assess the proportions of the whole case rather than choose by diameter alone.
Close-up photographs show how the white registers stand apart from the red background and how the broad main hands differ from the slender chronograph seconds hand. The manufacturer describes the red base as enamelled but does not specify a firing process; it should not automatically be credited with the properties of traditional fired enamel. Sapphire and luminous material on the hands add practicality, but the 50 m water-resistance rating is a reminder that this is primarily an everyday chronograph rather than a dive watch.
As checked on November 1, 2026, the official European shop lists €2,100 and asks customers to check availability: the button reads Sold Out — CHECK AVAILABILITY. The buying decision here rests on colour, hand-winding and fit, not merely the logo. If a quiet, versatile dial is the goal, the RitmoCorsa will be too conspicuous; if conventional black chronographs have become predictable, this Florentine model has a character of its own.
