Optic Yellow, From Court to Wrist
The Maestro GC Sport Tennis in Optic Yellow is the latest Gerald Charles GC Sport reference, combining the original Maestro architecture by Gérald Charles Genta with a tennis ball–inspired hue. It is designed to follow high-intensity play yet remain understated off court, linking the Maison’s design heritage with a modern sports profile.
The darkblast® Grade 5 titanium case measures 39 mm x 41 mm with a thickness of 9 mm, giving wrist presence without bulk. Its stepped geometry and finishing emphasise fine watchmaking within a technical, performance-led piece.
The optic yellow dial has a grainy, hand-hammered base treated with colour and a clear, shiny coating that produces a subtle three-dimensional look. The textured, degradé effect continues the approach introduced on the Maestro GC Sport Clay and Grass, here interpreted in a brighter palette.
A white minute track, baton-shaped hands filled with white Super-LumiNova® that glows green at night, and Arabic numerals at 3, 9 and 12 ensure clear time reading while keeping the dial balanced.
The optic yellow Velcro strap, crafted in-house in Geneva, extends this language beyond the case. Its porous, textured surface mirrors the dial, while an integrated darkblast® buckle and easy removal system support comfort and quick strap changes without tools.
Engineered for the Modern Game
The Maestro GC Sport Tennis has been tested and approved by professional tennis players, underlining its role as a performance instrument. A left-hand screw-down crown with Clous de Paris motif and embossed logo minimises contact with the wrist during play.
The ultra-light titanium construction keeps the watch at 64 grams, while 5G shock resistance protects the movement from the forces generated by powerful strokes. Gerald Charles’ ErgonTeq® standard governs the relationship between lugs, case and strap, increasing contact with the wrist, stability and weight distribution across different wrist sizes.
Swiss Manufacture 2.0 Caliber and Anniversary Details
Inside the 35-component case is the automatic Swiss Manufacture 2.0 Caliber, developed in-house and just 3.7 mm thick. It offers central hours, minutes and seconds, a date window at 6 o’clock and a 50-hour power reserve from a twin-barrel system, plus Incabloc® anti-shock, stop-second mechanism, uni-directional rotor, 4 Hz frequency and 100 m / 10 ATM water resistance.
Through the flat sapphire crystal caseback, the oscillating weight bears a 25th-anniversary logo specific to this year. The bridges feature colimaçon, côtes de Genève, perlage and the Gerald Charles “Honeycomb” pattern, expressing classical Swiss finishing and long-term reliability in a watch built for sport.
