Maurice de Mauriac concludes Rallymaster with tennis
The Racquet Rallymaster IV combines tennis references and mechanical watchmaking in the final model of Maurice de Mauriac’s Rallymaster series.
The Maurice de Mauriac Racquet Rallymaster IV marks the conclusion of the Rallymaster series with a clearly tennis-inspired aesthetic. The model combines sporting references with mechanical watchmaking and positions itself as a niche watch for collectors interested in design and sport.
The watch was developed in collaboration with Racquet and draws visual inspiration from the world of tennis. This is reflected in the colour palette and graphic details, which reference tennis balls and court markings.
The case measures 39 millimetres and is made from black PVD-coated steel. The size places the model within the classic sports watch segment, suitable for both everyday wear and more active use.
The dial is black with prominent neon-coloured details that create contrast and improve legibility. The small seconds display is positioned at nine o’clock, giving the dial an asymmetric and technical appearance.
The hands and hour markers are treated with blue Super-LumiNova. This ensures readability in low-light conditions and supports the watch’s functional focus.

Maurice de Mauriac Racquet Rallymaster IV and mechanics
The Maurice de Mauriac Racquet Rallymaster IV is powered by the Swiss automatic Landeron 24 movement. The choice of movement places the model firmly in the mechanical mid-range and underlines its sporting foundation.
The watch is delivered with two interchangeable straps. One is a black textile strap, while the other offers variation in both appearance and comfort. This makes the model flexible in everyday use.
Water resistance is rated at 100 metres. This corresponds to ten percent of the pressure at sea level and makes the watch suitable for daily wear and light sporting activities.
The design is clearly inspired by tennis, but without direct logos or figurative elements. This gives the watch a more restrained appearance than many other sports-inspired models.
The end of the Rallymaster series
The Rallymaster IV is presented as the final chapter of the Rallymaster series. Earlier models explored themes of motorsport and movement, while the series concludes here with a focus on tennis.
Over the years, Maurice de Mauriac has built a reputation for collaborations with clear references to sport and culture. The Racquet Rallymaster IV fits into this approach, where function and narrative are closely connected.
The watch primarily appeals to collectors seeking an alternative to classic dive and pilot watches. The combination of sport, design and mechanics places the model in a more experimental corner of the market.
For interested collectors, the Racquet Rallymaster IV represents both a conclusion and a definitive full stop for a series centred on movement as a recurring theme at Maurice de Mauriac.
