IWC Schaffhausen, a high end swiss watch maker announced Zinedine Zidane, in my opinion the greatest player ever, as its newest ambassador. They have dedicated a special model to him, the Igenieur Automatic Edition Zinedine Zidane. There will be only 1,000 availalbe globally.
The watch is described below:
The most important element in this case is the colour coding. Only a watch in the French national colours, which are reproduced both on the dial and in the blue crocodile leather strap with its red decorative stitching, is appropriate for a footballer who played for France 108 times over a period of twelve years.
One distinctive feature characterizes the glittering blue dial with its redand- white minute graduations: the Arabic numeral “10” in a brilliant shade of red stands out against the eleven appliquéd, metallically lustrous hour indices. Regarded as a magical number by footballers, the squad number “10” on the back of the strip always characterizes the striker, the brains of a team – the role played by Zinédine Zidane for many years in the “Équipe Tricolore”.
The back engraving makes the Ingenieur Automatic Edition Zinédine Zidane an absolute must for fans of this exceptional footballer. Situated at the centre of the solid stainless steel back are the engraved portrait and the autograph of the sportsman, framed by the inscription “Zinédine Zidane – World Champion 1998” and the model esignation “Ingenieur”. The back also carries the serial number of the limited edition of 1,000 watches.
I’d rather have that watch then get someone to put a down payment on a house for me!!!
