This model is dedicated to Fujiwara Bunta's Subaru Impreza WRX STI GC8 — the car driven by the \"fastest man\" himself, Takumi's father, whose enigmatic skill level remained one of the series' greatest mysteries throughout its entire run. The legendary father-son duo and their machines are honoured together in this two-watch 30th anniversary conclusion. The \"8\" index at 12 o'clock references the GC8's iconic designation, while the stainless steel bezel evokes the GC8's bonnet colour. Three car gauge sub-dials, a skeleton dial revealing the automatic movement, and a 30th anniversary caseback engraving complete a watch built entirely around Bunta's legend. Includes a 30th anniversary commemorative logo coin.
