Almost 30 years ago, Eberhard & Co. decided to celebrate the Italian champion driver Tazio Nuvolari by creating a collection that bears his name. Moreover, Eberhard & Co. has been the main sponsor of the Nuvolari Grand Prix for over twenty years.
The Tazio Nuvolari collection mainly consists of sports watches, and many versions have been added to it over the years. The latest, the Nuvolari Legend, is an automatic timepiece with a steel case available in two sizes - 39.5 mm and 43 mm - a black dial with luminescent Arabic numerals, a minutes counter at 12 o’clock, a hours counter at 6 o’clock and a spiral tachometer scale in km/hr in the centre.
The automatic movement can be admired through the transparent sapphire crystal base. The oscillating weight is decorated with the historical stylized Alfa Romeo Type C, in 18 ct. gold, in which the Tazio Nuvolari obtained many victories, and the côtes de Genève finish. Th caseback is decorated with a ‘chessboard’ image designed to look like the race-start flag.
The ‘vintage’ look of the new timepiece is enhanced by the matching antiqued leather strap.
