A while ago, Porsche announced the new 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition model. With the release of the limited edition model, it also announced a piece of car to buy a watch designed by Porsche Design, which makes the car and watch closely linked again. To the public. As the saying goes “car watches are not separated”, to give a few examples of car manufacturers, some are far more like mechanical clocks on antique cars, the more recent ones are the IWC watches on the Mercedes-Benz S-class, and Bentley Timothy is added to the optional Breitling Tuo Flywheel clock. From the point of view of the watch factory, Rolex’s most representative watch, Daytona, came out in 1963. It was designed specifically to meet the timing needs of professional endurance racing drivers.
As a top-level industrial product, car manufacturers and watch manufacturers have been working closely together until now. Choosing a suitable partner on both sides can improve their product style, but it will also cause some problems such as limited purchases. For example, if the product positioning is too high-end, such as the RM11-03 Mclaren created by McLaren and Richard Mille, the purchase condition is to order a McLaren flagship sports car Senna before it is eligible. Order a watch. So today I will introduce three cooperation models of car watches that are relatively easy to buy and have a moderate product price positioning.

With the launch of the new Bentley Flying Spur in March this year, in the official picture we saw that Bentley used the green paint of the British racing car on the new Speeding, which was eye-catching. Bentley’s old man Breitling also launched this mechanical chronograph B01 chronograph 42 Bentley Special Edition a few months later. The dial color is also in British racing green. The new Breitling mechanical chronograph is larger than the old model, and the diameter of the watch is reduced. The 42mm is more suitable for everyday wear, and the design is more refined and coordinated than the old one.
The watch is made of stainless steel, and there are 1/4 second, 30 minute and 12 hour cumulative counters at the 3, 6, 9 positions on the green dial surface, and a calendar display in the 6 o’clock hour dial. Its iconic rotating bezel has a bezel indicator, which not only protects the crystal glass mirror, but also simplifies the operation of the bezel. The bezel indicators at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock are interchangeable with the original, so whether the wearer needs a countdown or a chronograph replica watches on sale can be satisfied. The watch is equipped with a highly recognizable stainless steel bracelet with butterfly buckle integrated roller beads.
The watch also uses a transparent design, with the Bentley “BENTLEY” lettering engraved on the transparent sapphire case back. The watch is equipped with a Breitling-made 01 movement with a power reserve of 70 hours and a water resistance of 200 meters. Breitling in this era of the rise of green discs, has stood out from the many green disc watches, with a unique green dial to pay tribute to the long-term partnership with Bentley.

The new Land Rover Defender was also launched a few days ago. The new Defender changed its hardcore off-road image. While retaining the classic elements, the new car added many more luxurious and intelligent designs. As a partner of Land Rover, Zenith has launched cooperative watches for Range Rover, Xingmai and Aurora in the past few years.
With the launch of the new guard, Zenith also launched this new DEFY EL PRIMERO 21 LAND ROVER collaboration watch. Every time Zenith cooperates with Land Rover, the watch will also use the same model design. This time, the overall design of the Guardian special watch is very tough, and it is complemented by the orange embellishment of the crown and the dial, which adds to the watch. A little delicate.
The watch is made of matte sandblasted titanium and has a diameter of 44 mm. The matte gray dial has a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and a 60-second counter at 6 o’clock. The small seconds hand is placed on At 9 o’clock, a linear power reserve display is set under the logo of the 12 o’clock watch. The orange number on the inner side of the outer ring indicates the 1/100 second chronograph display.
The watch adopts a back-transparent design, and its design is inspired by the five-piece wheels of the new guard. The rubber strap pattern is very similar to the off-road tire tread pattern, and it is also equipped with a spare woven strap. The movement is equipped with an El Primero 1/100 second chronograph movement with a power reserve of 50 hours and a water resistance of 100 meters. The design of this watch not only shows the tenacity of the new Land Rover Defender, but also reinterprets the stability of the DEFY 21 watch.

Since 2011, Hublot has been the official timing and sponsor of specific events for Ferrari and Ferrari Challenge. Afterwards, the two major brands went beyond simple partnerships and demonstrated the close relationship between the two with a new watch design, sharing the relentless pursuit of innovation, creativity and performance.
Hublot launched the GT series last year, adhering to the design concept of two Ferrari GT models, creating a series of watches that combines tradition and elegance with superior technology. This series launched a total of three watches, the other two For carbon fiber material and king gold material, I personally think that the other two models are more in line with portofino’s feeling, and this titanium material is more in line with GTC4Lusso’s tonality, showing a wonderful blend of smart and elegant.
The mens replica watch is made of bead-blasted titanium, and the overall design looks like Ferrari’s iconic barrel instrument panel and air outlet design. The dial is mechanically designed with a hollow design, the digital time scale uses Ferrari instrument numbers, and two chronograph dials are set at the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions. The electronic display of the gear in the original tachometer is designed as a date display. The watch is set at the 12 o’clock position with the Ferrari Prancing Horse logo. You can also see the movement on the side of the crown and the movement under the transparent design. Two signs.
The watch is equipped with a self-winding flyback chronograph movement made by Hublot UNICO, which has a power reserve of 72 hours and a water resistance of 100 meters. Classic timeless watchmaking craftsmanship and the essence of luxury station wagons are combined with each other, complemented by the sincere collaboration of racing design and watchmaking movements, the subtle details of this series of watches can be seen everywhere.

When the collaboration watch created by the two combines sportiness and elegance, combining the exquisite details rooted in the watch craftsmanship, it echoes the automotive field with metal, ultra-light materials, chic design and dynamic temperament. It can be described as automobile manufacturing and manufacturing. The professional and sincere cooperation of the watch professional praises the precise control of time.
