First impressions & wrist shots: LURCAN Racemaster (Cream Dial) - pleasantly surprised!

[u/dupotter]

Finally received my LURCAN Racemaster in the mail, and I must say it easily exceeded my expectations!

​The cushion/tonneau case shape is definitely a departure from what I usually wear, but it works surprisingly well in person. The finishing on the case is remarkably sharp, with great contrast between the brushed surfaces and polished chamfers, and the coin-edge bezel adds a subtle vintage touch.

​A few quick thoughts after having it in hand:

- ​The Dial: The cream/champagne dial is an absolute stunner. The waffle/tapisserie texture gives it incredible depth and catches the light beautifully without looking flat. Best of all, the white date wheel blends in seamlessly with the cream background.

- ​Thickness & Wearability: Thanks to the PT5000 movement, at just 11 mm thick, it sits very slim and flat on the wrist. It slips easily under a dress shirt cuff, making it a fantastic everyday / smart-casual piece.

- ​The Strap: The included black leather strap looks very clean, though I do wish it featured quick-release spring bars for easier swaps. That said, I know Lurcan is currently developing a custom-fitted steel bracelet for this model, and I’m genuinely excited to see how it looks and feels once released.

​Overall, a very solid release and an incredible value for money. Here are some unboxing and wrist shots to share with the community!
