Zannetti Time of Drivers Pilots Red Ascari Chrono Watch

Zannetti Time of Drivers Pilots Ascari Red Chronograph Watch - Limited Edition

ime of Drivers Pilots handmade automatic chronograph luxury watch with customized dial of Alberto Ascari's Alfa Ferrari Tipo 500 red car reproduced on the dial first by hand-engraving it on a Corozo base, then hand-painting it using the miniature technique. Designed for fans and followers of Formula One.

Created in 2001, the Time of Driver collection immediately attracted the attention of racing fans all over the world. Today, the Time of Driver is back in a completely revised version, both in construction and in spirit. Zannetti has, in effect, abandoned the "celebratory" character of the watch and replaced it with a time marker, which seems in its own right to be the manifestation of the concept of speed. It has a solid steel case, rendered precious by lugs which have been carefully tooled, it has original chronograph buttons (the reset button, and not by chance, looks like a gear stick) and the winding-button has a tire-pattern engraved on it. The bezel too is particular in that it has Arabic character indexes engraved or enameled all around. Each watch has a tried and tested Swiss chronograph caliber, produced by Valjoux and refined by Soprod in compliance with Zannetti’s technical specifications. The rhodium of the bridges and pillar plate has been carefully executed, the screws are in blue steel, the finishing touches are Côte de Geneve and perlage pattern. The internal movement is perfectly visible thanks to the spacious sapphire crystal casing on the back.
