Breil and Abarth Launch Exclusive Abarth 500e-Inspired Limited Edition Watch
Discover the limited-edition Breil Abarth 500e watch, a tribute to Abarth's first EV with only 999 pieces available, blending style and performance.
In a striking fusion of precision engineering and automotive passion, Abarth and Breil have once again joined forces to celebrate a decade of collaboration with the launch of the limited-edition Breil Abarth 500e watch. This exclusive timepiece, limited to just 999 units, is not just a watch but a homage to the pioneering spirit of Abarth’s very first electric vehicle-the Abarth 500e.
This year marks the tenth consecutive collaboration between the iconic Italian sports car brand Abarth and the renowned watchmaker Breil, showcasing a legacy of combining style, performance, and advanced technology. The Breil Abarth 500e watch is a testament to this enduring partnership, drawing inspiration from the electric hot hatch’s distinctive features and Abarth’s celebrated sportsmanship and innovative design.
The Abarth 500e-inspired watch is a marvel of design intricacy, mirroring the electric vehicle’s most iconic attributes. The timepiece’s skeletonized and titan-finished dial echoes the design of the Abarth 500e alloy wheels, offering a peek into the heart of the watch-a Seiko NH70 automatic caliber. Adding a splash of vibrancy, details in «Acid green» highlight the second hands and the index, mirroring the car’s dynamic energy and zest.
The watch’s IP titan steel case is cleverly shaped to mimic the cut of the Abarth 500e’s headlights, encapsulating the car’s assertive and bold sporty essence. This design philosophy extends to the watch’s IP titan steel bracelet, embodying Abarth’s legendary roar-audible by scanning the QR code on the buckle, reminiscent of the sound generated by the Abarth 500e, distinguishing it in its segment as a true «pocket rocket.»
This collaboration between Abarth and Breil is more than a mere partnership; it’s a celebration of shared values-design excellence, unmatched performance, and an unwavering attention to detail. The limited-edition Breil Abarth 500e watch is a symbol of this decade-long journey, blending the thrill of automotive innovation with the timeless elegance of horology.
As Abarth ventures into the electric vehicle market with the Abarth 500e, this collaboration with Breil serves as a bridge between traditional sportsmanship and the future of mobility. Fans of the Scorpion brand and Breil now have the opportunity to wear a piece of this legacy, driving forward with style and the unmistakable roar that has made Abarth a proud icon in the automotive community.
