The three models draw on the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a España, respectively, but use distinct race-inspired dial and strap palettes rather than identical designs. Their reported launch-era retail price was US$2,590 per watch.
What is the Bravur Grand Tour III?
Grand Tour III is a three-watch chronograph series from Swedish brand Bravur, which describes its identity around cycling and distinctive design. Each watch takes its theme from one of Europe’s three major stage races: Italy’s Giro d’Italia, France’s Tour de France or Spain’s Vuelta a España. The collection is a design tribute; available coverage does not establish that the watches are official race timekeepers or endorsed by race organizers.
The final addition was La Vuelta III. Hypebeast identified it as the third and final Grand Tour III watch for 2023, completing the series alongside the previously covered La Corsa Rosa III and La Grande Boucle III.
How the three watches differ
| Model | Race theme | Reported design details | Reported launch price and edition |
|---|---|---|---|
| La Corsa Rosa III | Giro d’Italia | Fratello’s specifications cover the black ceramic-coated 316L steel case and describe the III models as having cycling-inspired details. A model-specific dial color is not stated in that source. | US$2,590; limited to 50 pieces, according to Fratello’s publication-era specifications. |
| La Grande Boucle III | Tour de France | Fratello’s specifications cover the black ceramic-coated 316L steel case and describe the III models as having cycling-inspired details. A model-specific dial color is not stated in that source. | US$2,590; limited to 50 pieces, according to Fratello’s publication-era specifications. |
| La Vuelta III | Vuelta a España | White dial with red details, matte black PVD-treated steel case; offered with black leather or red racing-style rubber strap, according to Hypebeast’s 2023 report. | US$2,590 original retail price, according to Hypebeast’s 2023 report; edition size not stated there. |
The available sources do not establish La Vuelta III’s edition size or confirm that the 50-piece limit reported for each of the two models covered by Fratello also applies to it. The race colors and references are the clearest distinctions; do not assume that every dial or strap option is shared across all three.

Bravur Grand Tour III specifications
Fratello reported the following specifications for La Corsa Rosa III and La Grande Boucle III. Hypebeast separately reported La Vuelta III’s case size, movement and water resistance. These are published specifications, not independent test results.
| Specification | La Corsa Rosa III and La Grande Boucle III | La Vuelta III |
|---|---|---|
| Case | Black ceramic-coated 316L stainless steel | Matte black PVD-treated steel |
| Diameter | 38.2 mm | 38.2 mm |
| Lug-to-lug | 46.3 mm | Not stated in Hypebeast’s 2023 report |
| Thickness | 14.4 mm | Not stated in Hypebeast’s 2023 report |
| Movement | Sellita SW511b automatic chronograph | Sellita SW511b |
| Power reserve | 62 hours | Not stated in Hypebeast’s 2023 report |
| Water resistance | 100 m | 10 ATM |
| Crystal and caseback | Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating; sapphire exhibition caseback | Not stated in Hypebeast’s 2023 report |
| Chronograph display | 12-hour and 15-minute counters, plus central elapsed seconds | Not stated in Hypebeast’s 2023 report |
| Strap | 18 mm width; FKM rubber or black leather options | Black leather or red racing-style rubber options |
Fratello lists the SW511b at 28,800 vibrations per hour and 27 jewels for the two models it reviewed. It does not provide those movement details separately for La Vuelta III, so they should not be treated as independently confirmed for that reference based only on Hypebeast’s report.

What the dimensions and chronograph mean for a buyer
At a reported 38.2 mm across, the Grand Tour III cases are relatively compact for automatic chronographs. The 46.3 mm lug-to-lug measurement and 14.4 mm thickness reported for La Corsa Rosa III and La Grande Boucle III are also relevant when judging how a watch may sit under a cuff or on a particular wrist. Those measurements do not, by themselves, establish comfort or fit; the available coverage does not offer comparative wrist testing across all three models.
The chronograph is a mechanical timing function, with Fratello specifying 12-hour and 15-minute counters and central elapsed seconds for the two models it reviewed. The cycling theme appears in the colors and design details, while the core function remains that of a mechanical chronograph. The published coverage does not establish that these watches were tested during riding.

Who the Grand Tour III is for
The series may appeal to a buyer who wants a mechanical chronograph with a cycling connection and a design tied to a specific race. Model choice is chiefly a question of which race identity and dial-and-strap palette appeals most. The published size figures can help with an initial comparison, but try the watch on if fit is a deciding factor, particularly given the reported 14.4 mm thickness of the two Fratello-covered models.
Bravur’s official homepage describes its watches as hand-assembled in Sweden with Swiss automatic movements and designed for life on and off the bike. That brand description provides context, but it is not evidence of race-organizer endorsement or cycling-performance testing of the Grand Tour III.

Quick Recap
Best Value
- VK63 MECHA-QUARTZ CHRONOGRAPH: The WD1863 uses a VK63 mecha-quartz movement with a central 1/5-second chronograph hand, 60-minute counter, running small seconds and a 24-hour display. The pushers control start, stop and reset, combining quartz accuracy with crisp mechanical-style chronograph action for practical elapsed-time measurement.
- BUBBLE SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL & ALUMINUM BEZEL: The raised bubble-style sapphire crystal adds depth above the dial, while a high-clear inner AR coating helps reduce reflections. A 316L stainless steel case and bracelet provide a solid everyday build, and the fixed aluminum bezel creates a defined frame around the vintage chronograph display.
- SUPER BGW-9 BLUE LUME: BGW-9 super luminous material is applied to the hands, hour markers and selected dial details. After exposure to light, these elements produce a blue glow that supports quick time reading in darker surroundings. Coverage follows the individual dial design and remains clearly arranged around the three-register chronograph display.
- 100M WATER RESISTANCE: The screw-down crown and screw-down case back support a 100M water-resistance rating for daily wear and suitable surface-water use. Always tighten the crown fully before contact with water, do not operate the chronograph pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, and avoid hot water, steam and diving. Water resistance should be checked periodically as seals age.
- COMPACT 39MM WRIST PROFILE: The WD1863 measures 39mm across the bezel, with a 41mm mid-case, 46mm lug-to-lug length, 12.9mm thickness including the raised crystal and 20mm lug width. These proportions balance the detail of a three-register chronograph with a wearable footprint. The 20mm bracelet remains proportionate to the case, while the raised crystal adds vintage depth to the compact design.
