TEAM LAND CRUISER (TLC) TOYOTA AUTO BODY
The company team of Toyota Auto Body, a Toyota Group manufacturer of minivans, commercial vehicles, and SUVs. TLC has been participating in the Dakar Rally, considered the world’s most extreme rally, with the Land Cruiser every year since 1995.
◾️Special colors evoking the look of the team’s rally car
The watch features a black and red color scheme inspired by the Land Cruiser 300 GR Sport, the car raced by TLC in the Dakar Rally. IP is applied to the metal bezel as part of the overall black look, which is set off with red accents, including the red line decorating the button at 3 o’clock and side surfaces. The design evokes the toughness of a racing machine capable of delivering in harsh conditions across an approximately 10,000-km course.
◾️Band design capturing the desert setting of the rally
Designed to capture the feel of racing through desert sands, the sand-colored band is printed with a black splatter pattern that evokes tracks left by speeding racers. IP in the same brown hue is also applied to the guard for the front button.
◾️Official logo to commemorate a special collaboration
As a symbolic design for the official watch actually used in the rally, the band and case back are adorned with the Team Land Cruiser logo. Even more, when the LED backlight is illuminated, a TLC graphic appears on the LCD.
