Duckworth Prestex’s founder Neil Duckworth tips his hat to Real Tennis (sometimes called Court Tennis), with the latest launch of the new Real Tennis Locstock Chronograph.
The 500-year-old game that was the forerunner of lawn tennis is still played in courts around the world.
The UK has the majority of these (25). The main difference to the game is that it is played indoors on a stone floor.
Smaller stronger rackets that are strung with a much heavier string are required to return the yellow solid hard balls.
Duckworth warns of the addictive nature of the sport and its complicated scoring that has grown his love of the game and inspired the creation of the new Real Tennis Lostock Chronograph.
The 40mm case, houses a 6S21 Miyota Meca-quartz movement. The yellow dial matches the colour of the Real Tennis balls used.
Sitting above the date located at 6 are two asymmetrical crossed tennis rackets in blue, with matching blue hands and hour marks.
There will be 75 pieces available in the first drop in September this year with pre-order available April 1st with an estimated price of £595.
