Turn one of the Agelocer Racing Fast & Furious watches over and the caseback backs up the small Fast & Furious lettering printed on the dial: an engraved Fast & Furious co-branding mark. That lettering and engraving are what separate the Fast & Furious models from the rest of Agelocer's Racing series, and the product descriptions for the steel-bracelet versions spell it out: an officially co-branded Agelocer x Fast and Furious watch.
This guide covers five Racing listings on PrimeTimepiece, spanning three model names, men's and women's listings, strap and steel bracelet, and prices from $299 to $369. That is a lot of overlap to untangle, and the model names don't make it obvious. This guide sorts out what's actually different between them, what the shared movement can and can't do, and which one is worth your money depending on what you want out of it.
Quick picks
- Best value: Agelocer Racing Square on leather — $299, 44mm, 42-hour reserve.
- For the co-branded caseback: Agelocer Racing Fast & Furious Automatic — from $299 in Warm brown, $339 in the other three finishes.
- On a steel bracelet: Agelocer Racing Fast & Furious Black Steel — $369, five finishes.
What the Fast & Furious co-branding actually gets you
Be clear-eyed about this: the licence is styling, not engineering. Nothing in the product data suggests the collaboration changed the movement, the case construction, or the water resistance. What it buys you is a design brief — motorsport dial architecture, a caseback engraved with the franchise mark, and press photography that puts the watch on a steering wheel rather than on a desk blotter. If you were hoping the tie-in meant a hardened chronograph or a tachymeter-driven timing complication, it doesn't. These are three-hand skeleton automatics wearing a racing costume, and they're priced accordingly.
That's not a criticism so much as a framing. What matters is whether the watch underneath is any good, and here the honest answer is that it's a competent mid-catalogue Agelocer — not the brand's technical showpiece, but not a hollow badge either. If you want the full picture on where Agelocer sits as a maker, our assessment of the brand's overall standing covers the ground properly.
One calibre runs the whole series: the Cal. A5500
Every Racing listing, men's and women's, leather and steel, is powered by the same movement: Agelocer's Cal. A5500 automatic. That's useful consistency across five listings, and it makes cross-shopping simpler than the model names suggest — you are choosing a case and a colour, not a mechanical tier.
The specifics vary slightly by listing. The Fast & Furious models quote a 40-hour power reserve at 21,600 vph (3Hz). The Racing Square and Racing Hollow listings quote 42 hours of stated kinetic energy, and their casebacks are engraved with a 42-hour, 28-jewel marking. All five list 316L stainless steel cases; the Square and Hollow also list synthetic sapphire crystal, while the Fast & Furious listings don't publish a crystal type.
Here is the concession that matters most: 21,600 vph is not a high-beat movement. A 3Hz balance ticks six times a second rather than the eight of a 4Hz calibre, which means a slightly less fluid sweep and, in general, a marginally coarser timing resolution. On published specs, the Racing series is the sportier, simpler side of Agelocer's catalogue rather than the technical one. If mechanical sophistication is your priority over styling, the wider Agelocer range comparison will point you somewhere else. If you want the watch that looks like it belongs in a garage, keep reading.

Three model names, one case shape: why the names mislead
Racing Square — the listing with the most options
The Racing Square automatic is the listing with the widest choice in the series and, at $299 on leather, sits at the series' lowest price alongside the Hollow and the Warm brown Fast & Furious. The case is squared off with cut corners — an octagonal-square profile rather than a clean rectangle — and it's listed at 44mm across with a 12mm thickness and a substantial 123g weight. The dial is openworked, with the movement architecture visible through the front.
The Square listing carries eight variants — four on French calfskin at $299 (Classic Black, Mystic Silver, Luxury Rose Gold, Black Rose Gold) and four on bracelet at $329.
Racing Hollow — the Square's near-twin
The Racing Hollow automatic shares the Square's spec sheet almost line for line: 44mm 316L case, 12mm thick, 123g, French calfskin strap, sapphire crystal, 42-hour reserve, pin buckle, and an etched and embossed steel caseback. It also lists a luminous system and 24-hour indication alongside the three-hand layout. At $299 across all four colours, it's the leather-only listing: same published spec as the Square, without the bracelet options.
Worth knowing before you cross-shop: the Square and Hollow listings share SKU codes — 5801A1, 5802J1, 5803D2 and 5803J3 appear on both. The variant photographs show the same octagonal case and openworked dial on both, so don't read the product titles as two different shapes. On the published data, the only practical difference is that the Square listing adds four steel-bracelet variants at $329.
Racing Fast & Furious — the licensed ones
The explicitly co-branded models sit on a slightly larger platform: 44.5mm case, 12mm thick, 117g, 24mm strap width, 50m water resistance, 40-hour reserve. This is where the franchise engraving lives.
One data quirk to flag honestly: the Fast & Furious spec blocks list the strap material as rubber at 24mm, while the product photography for the non-bracelet variants shows stitched, leather-look straps. Check the individual variant photo before you commit if strap material is a deciding factor for you.
The five Racing listings at a glance
| Listing | Price | Variants | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Racing Square Automatic | $299 / $329 | 8 | Leather and bracelet in one listing; widest choice |
| Racing Hollow Automatic | $299 | 4 | 44mm case, calfskin only, 42h stated reserve; same SKU codes as the Square's leather variants |
| Racing Fast & Furious Automatic | $299 / $339 | 4 | Warm brown (5817A7) is the $299 outlier |
| Racing Fast & Furious Black Steel | $369 | 5 | Includes two green options (Green Rose Gold, Green Silver) |
| Racing Fast & Furious Women's Steel | $369 | 3 | Blue, Pink, White on bracelet |
A word on the women's models and sizing
The women's Racing listing is appealing on colour alone — it comes in Blue, Pink and White, and the women's steel-bracelet version at $369 is the most polished-looking piece in the series.
But read the spec sheet carefully. The women's listing publishes the same case dimensions as the men's Fast & Furious models — 44.5mm across, 12mm thick and 117g, with a 24mm strap width and a 170–230mm wearing length. Nothing in the published data indicates a downsized case. Treat these as large watches styled for a woman, not as small watches, and measure your wrist before ordering.
Which Racing Agelocer should you actually buy?
Most buyers should pick the Racing Square on leather at $299: the same Cal. A5500, 44mm case and 42-hour stated reserve as the Hollow, with bracelet variants at $329. Choose the Fast & Furious Automatic, from $299, if you want the co-branded caseback, or the $369 Black Steel for that caseback on a bracelet.
If you want maximum distinctiveness for the least money
The Racing Square on leather at $299. The case shape is the whole point of this series, and the calfskin versions cost thirty dollars less than the bracelet ones while looking, if anything, more deliberate.
If you want the licensed caseback
Only the Fast & Furious listings carry the co-branding. The Racing Fast & Furious automatic starts at $299 for the Warm brown 5817A7 and $339 for the other three finishes.
If you want a steel bracelet
The Black Steel bracelet version at $369. Five finishes, including Green Rose Gold and Green Silver options that none of the other listings here offer.
The verdict
The Racing series is the most personality-driven corner of Agelocer's catalogue and it carries a licensed tie-in, but it is not the brand's technical high point — the 3Hz A5500 with a 40–42 hour reserve is a modest specification rather than a headline one. Buy it for the square case, the openworked dial and the caseback engraving. If you're buying on movement specification alone, our guide to the best Agelocer watches covers the brand's more complicated lines. Best value in the series: the Agelocer Racing Square on leather at $299.
Can you swim with an Agelocer Racing watch?
No. Every Racing listing is rated to 50m, which in practice covers rain, handwashing and accidental splashes — not swimming, showering or any submersion. Treat 50m as a splash rating rather than a swim rating. What a 50m rating really permits goes into the detail.
Is the Agelocer Racing series really licensed by Fast & Furious?
The product descriptions for the steel-bracelet Racing models describe them as officially co-branded Agelocer x Fast and Furious watches, and the casebacks carry the franchise engraving. That is the extent of what we can state. We make no claim about the terms, scope or duration of the licensing arrangement beyond what the descriptions say.
What movement is in the Agelocer Racing collection?
All five Racing listings covered here use the Agelocer Cal. A5500 automatic. The Fast & Furious variants list a 40-hour power reserve at 21,600 vph (3Hz); the Square and Hollow variants list 42 hours of stated kinetic energy, with casebacks engraved 28 jewels. Every model lists a 316L steel case; the Square and Hollow also list synthetic sapphire crystal.
How big is the Agelocer Racing case on the wrist?
The Square and Hollow models list a 44mm case at 12mm thick and 123g. The Fast & Furious models list 44.5mm at 12mm and 117g, with a 24mm strap. These are large watches by any measure, and the published women's specs match them, so check your wrist size before ordering.
Square or Hollow — which Racing listing should I pick?
Mechanically there is nothing between them: same calibre, same 44mm case, same 42-hour figure, same calfskin and sapphire. The variant photos show the same octagonal case on both, and the two listings share SKU codes. So the choice is practical: pick the Square listing if you want the steel-bracelet option at $329; on leather at $299, choose whichever listing has the colour you want.
Is $299 to $369 fair for what these are?
For a 316L steel case, an openworked automatic dial and — on the Fast & Furious models — a co-branded caseback, it's a reasonable ask — especially at the $299 leather price. What you're paying for is design and the tie-in, not movement specification. Judge it as a styling purchase and it holds up well.
The bottom line
The Racing collection is Agelocer being playful rather than Agelocer being clever. It isn't the brand's technical showpiece, and a 3Hz beat rate with a 40–42 hour reserve is a modest specification. What it does have is a cut-cornered square case that stands apart from the round-case norm, an openworked dial that actually shows you something, and, on the Fast & Furious models, an officially co-branded caseback. At $299 for the Racing Square automatic on leather, that's a lot of character for the money — provided you go in knowing exactly what the badge is and isn't buying you.
