The R81 Mark I Mechanically Performing Belt Buckle – Codename: GOLDFINGER
Working together with Purdey, the custom gun company, on the limited edition of the R8 Mark I AUTHENTIC gave Roland the opportunity to tour their factory, see how their guns open up and feel the power of the springs. This inspired him to create a spring loaded belt deployed in eight positions. The R81 GOLDFINGER "Gibson Edition" Suspension Belt functions via a patented trigger mechanism which delivers 8 degrees/ 25mm of calibration along a ratchet barrel construction.
An improved leather ceinture clip enhanced with extra leverage guarantees that the leather strap fits secruely within the clip and the new Z design called "the Gibson" affords a secure grip with a smooth manipulation of the clip when a change of leather strap is desired.
The materials used in the R81 - solid gold and titanium, with either a titanium, steel or mother of pearl in-lay have been chosen to guarantee impeccable performance of the trigger mechanism and to provide the touch, feel and uniquely dense sound of gold. Afterall, when you have 8 positions to choose from, you never have your hand far from the trigger.
That's why the code name for this product is GOLDFINGER.
