In celebration of the Fender Stratocaster’s 70th anniversary, Bulgari has unveiled a striking new limited edition Aluminium GMT watch, paying homage to the iconic 1954 Stratocaster guitar. This collaboration, presented during Geneva Watch Days, is a tribute to the enduring legacy of both Bulgari and Fender.A Tribute to Iconic Design**
The Bulgari Aluminium GMT, initially launched in 1998 and reintroduced in 2020, now features a design inspired by the classic Fender Stratocaster. The watch is limited to just 1,200 pieces, making it a highly coveted collector’s item. Its aesthetic pays homage to the original Stratocaster colors with a brown gradient dial, complemented by creamy white and dark brown hues on the 24-hour GMT scale.
The design elements are reminiscent of the Stratocaster’s classic look, while the watch retains its distinctive features such as the double Bulgari logo on the rubber bezel. The timepiece integrates Arabic numerals at 12 and 6 o’clock, with a date window at 3 o’clock, maintaining both functionality and style.
