Gruppo Ardito has released a Limited Edition of their LINCE model with a unique case-side feature that will surely brighten your day!

In addition to the striking case-side engraving, this Limited Edition known as the Lince Turquoise has twice the water-resistance of other models bearing the same name.

​

Gruppo Ardito watches btw are totally handmade in Italy using artisanal methods. The special “Turquoise” engraving has been hand etched, painted with enamel and then glazed.

​

So to the watch’s Degradé petronas dial and of course the watch’s robust case – painstakingly machined from tough Grade 5 Titanium.

​

The case which measure 42mm in diameter has been fitted with a 4mm-thick domed Sapphire crystal as well as a Titanium screw-down crown and solid G5 Ti case-back attached via 5x bolts.

​

The case-back as an engraving of an Italian naval submarine; sadly I couldn’t find anything on it but there was an Spica-class, Italian torpedo boat named Lince that was built for the Regia Marina in the late 1930s.

​

During the Second World War, Lince was involved in several naval actions before she was sunk in August 1943 by a British submarine.

I’m not if there’s a connection? I digress.

​

Powering this turquoise emblazoned, Grade 5 Titanium constructed, 2’000 meter Italian diver is a reliable Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic movement.

​

The Lince Turquoise is presented on a blue sharkskin strap with hand-stitched a Tricolor and a Titanium buckle. Lei è bellissima!
