history of blancpain aqualung

Combine a prestigious Swiss watch company with the maker of exotic Italian super cars, make it limited edition, and you will get the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo. Cars and watches have always gone together and we have seen less eloquent pairings than this, but coming from Lamborghini, it is a surprise this watch is as understated as it is. In fact, this watch is relatively normal looking, but there is nothing normal about it. 85 Uniqueness The Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo was created to commemorate a new series of races taking place around the world this year. This series will feature only Lamborghini cars and include six of the most legendary race tracks, *** it the most demanding single-make championship in the history of racing. There will only be 300 of the commemorative watches made available to the public, many of which have already been promised to the series' sponsors and drivers; getting your hands on one will be very difficult. Read more 75 Durability A watch like this is meant to be worn while racing and, as such, it is made from some of the strongest materials in the world. This includes a case made from DLC (diamond like coating) carbon over stainless steel, an NAC coated movement and our personal favorite, a strap made from Alcantara leather -- the very same material used to cover the Lamborghini’s seats. Since Blancpain has taken no real risks with the design of this chronograph, it runs little risk of fading out of style, which is more than we can say for many auto-inspired sport watches. We love the race-inspired red chrono pusher and skeletonized hands. The Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo is a timeless sport chronograph that, while not the most interesting looking watch in the world, is more than competent. We suspect many collectors are already revving their engines to get one. Ben Clymer is the Executive Editor of Hodinkee.com, a daily blog of the most interesting watches in the world.
