Presented in a series of 1,000 individual pieces, the IWC Ingenieur Automatic Edition Zin��dine Zidane watch commemorates the vibrant career and exceptional skill and stamina of Zin��dine Zidane. The Marseilles-born Zidane, who played for the clubs of Juventus Turin and Real Madrid obtained numerous titles, both national and international. Recognition for his outstanding accomplishments include three World Footballer of the Year awards, and the 1999 World Sportsman of the Year. The IWC Ingenieur Automatic Edition Zin��dine Zidane watch shares the case design, 120-meter water resistance, anti-magnetic protection, and exclusive Pellaton-winding 80110 caliber movement of the regular production Ingenieur Automatic. It is the many distinctive details which give this commemorative model its unique flavor; the blue dial and strap, both accented with red, evoke the national colors of France--the country which Zidane played 108 times for over a twelve year interval. Turning the timepiece over reveals an intricately detailed caseback which showcases an engraved portrait of the athlete and his signature, along with a circular designation for the model name, and the inscriptions "Zin��dine Zidane", and "World Championship 1998". Additionally, a small engraving opposite the serial number shows the numbered edition. This limited edition IWC timepiece was introduced by IWC CEO Georges Kern and Zin��dine Zidane himself, at a special event in Paris on June 16.
