Forza

The Distinction universe of Maison Bertolucci explores the horizons of a different and suggestive luxury. Each line causes a stir with exclusive timepieces, inspired by the various influences of brand's terrain. Know-how gives birth to inspiration: thanks to the high degree of demand and innovation, creativity, style and attractiveness can be expressed to the full. Whatever the mood, the imagination is inspired in quest of novelty and beauty, which takes us to the magical world of opulence and elegance. Bertolucci imposes a distinctive image with identifiable and daring, upscale and timeless pieces. In 2010, Bertolucci opens up the Distinction universe to men with new upscale timepieces, resolutely modern and profoundly masculine: Forza.

Dedicated to the lovers of beautiful mechanics and charismatic designs, Forza is exclusively equipped with automatic movements revealed by the sapphire back of a generously proportioned all black case. Connoisseurs will appreciate watch-making functions of the various calibres which beat at the rate of 28'800 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of 38 or 42 hours. In an innovative construction celebrating the brand's origins, the watch outlines a unique profile where lugs draw a profile of a wave under the large and comfortable “pebble” of the case. Unexpectedly, Forza will become a precious object of design for men in search of a strong and contemporary instrument.

Designed in a sportive and distinctive style, the various versions of Forza marry technique, strength and elegance. The model emerges by its profiled lines, its precise and integrated curves. It is offered in a range comprising three Swiss self-winding movements displaying different sets of functions on patterned opalin dials with applied indexes. According to their desire and their mood, men will opt for the chronograph with tachymeter scale, for the 3 hand watch with big date & power reserve indication, or for the 3 hand watch with day and date counters & power reserve indication. Mounted on a genuine rubber strap, the case alternates with a polished and fine-brushed finishing in an all black PVD execution, reinforcing the strong, stylish and functional look of Forza.
