SERENA GARBO « Dual Time » Gent automatic watch – Novelties 2009
Connoisseurs will definitely appreciate the two new self-winding models dedicated to men in the SERENA GARBO collection, equipped with a big date at 12 o'clock and a dual time zone at 6 o'clock.
Both faithful to the Casual Chic universe, the timepieces SERENA GARBO call for elegance, sober yet masculine, drawn by a polished stainless steel case with a 41 mm diameter and a 12 mm thickness. On the black galvanic or white silvered opalin dial, the rhodium plated indexes are enhanced with a refined outline, coppered or black plated according to the execution. The polished skeleton hands, in “Dauphine” style, allow an easy reading of time on the circular minute track. A second time zone indicates hours and minutes in a specific subdial positioned at 6 o'clock. It is adorned with a specific plate, coppered or black plated, screwed on the principal dial and elegantly engraved with the name “BERTOLUCCI”.
Dedicated to contemporary men for whom time is short and precious, the two versions are fitted with a Swiss self-winding mechanical calibre, to satisfy the expectations of the most experienced watch lovers. As a daily luxury which will accompany you everywhere, the SERENA GARBO Dual Time is equipped with a single crown for time setting of the two different time zones, as well as the date adjustment. Presented at 12 o'clock in a double calendar circled in coppered or steel, the big date reinforces the sportive yet distinctive style of the piece.
