Desert Racer VBA442: Adrien van Beveren X Atlantic | Limited Edition Chronograph Inspired by discipline, endurance and the relentless drive that defines desert racing. Limited to 442 individually numbered pieces, each presented in a special VBA collector’s box. A watch built for those who chase their goals with focus and courage. Precision shaped by the desert. Purpose built for every day. The Desert Racer VBA 442 is a tribute to one of rally-raid’s most dedicated competitors: Adrien Van Beveren. Known for his unwavering discipline and his iconic race number 442, Adrien has built a career on focus, resilience and an unshakeable belief in continuous progress — values that echo our own watchmaking philosophy at Atlantic. This special edition Swiss chronograph carries sand-inspired accents across a matte racing dial, capturing the spirit of the dunes and the raw landscapes that define the world’s toughest rally stages. It balances rugged intent with refined execution — a piece built to wear with ease from daily life to adventure. Delivered in a dedicated collector’s box with the VBA 442 signature, each watch is individually numbered out of 442. This is more than a timepiece — it is a symbol of determination and the belief that progress is earned one moment, one decision, one mile at a time. For those who know that every journey begins with showing up and refusing to stop. Adrien Van Beveren – Born for the Desert Adrien Van Beveren is one of the most respected athletes in rally-raid motorsport. Born in Northern France, he built his reputation on the demanding sand races of Le Touquet, where he claimed three consecutive victories, before taking his discipline, precision and endurance into the world of rally-raid. Today, he competes at the highest level in events such as the Dakar Rally, known for its unforgiving terrain and extreme physical and mental demands. Recognised by his iconic race number 442, Adrien is admired not only for his performance, but for his mindset — a quiet determination, relentless work ethic, and unwavering belief in pushing limits, one stage at a time.
