Channeling the ferocious and fantastical spirit of motor racing for 2017, Azimuth rolls out the Gran Turismo, a statement-making timepiece that oozes contemporary charm while paying tribute to the iconic four-wheelers of yesteryear. A sculptural work of art, the Azimuth Gran Turismo is distinguished by a wholly unique case, flaunting curves that recall the profile of vintage cars, sharing the same design blueprint as its predecessor, the Twin Turbo, which was launched in 2016. Testing the aesthetic and technical limits of automobile-inspired watches, the Azimuth GT case silhouette references the curvaceous bonnets of retro Porsche 911s from the 1960s. Elsewhere, the Gran Turismo’s striking dial – positioned at an inclined angle to allow drivers to easily check the time while on the road – is a nod to the larger-than-life speedometer displays found on Mini Cooper dashboards.  Further accentuating the throwback and sporty demeanour of the Gran Turismo are two decorative air vents that flank the dial, and ribbed leather straps with contrast stitching that matches the case and dial accents, which takes inspiration from the leather upholstery of 1970s supercars. The Azimuth Gran Turismo is a perfect example of us going deep into the world of motorsports, looking back into its past and imbuing it with a sense of futurism to offer watch lovers a watch that is truly unique and distinctive. The undulating and voluminous profile is a sight to behold, and cranking up on style quotient, the case comes in four dashing colour options that span the sophisticated to the flamboyant. Featuring polished stainless steel, gold sandblasted PVD, electric blue sandblasted PVD and hyper cool military camouflage PVD treatments, each colour execution comes in a limited edition. Technical Specifications Limited edition: Only 100 pieces available worldwide Case size: 50mm (width) x 54mm (length) Case material: 316L stainless steel, urban camouflage Case back: 316L stainless steel Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: ETA2671 Power reserve: Approx 38hrs Dial: Black Glass: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 3ATM Strap type: Leather Strap material: Calf Buckle: Stainless steel deployant buckle Features: Hour indication on disc, minute and second hands Warranty: 2 years

Rev up your engines and get ready for a watch that provokes your senses. The Azimuth Twin Turbo is loaded with technical and design bravado; and is made especially for the individual who carries a passion for the vintage. With the well-grinded race tracks giving the nod to this timepiece, the Azimuth Twin Turbo’s striking design feature is its sculpted case which resembles the sexy silhouette of vintage racing cars from the 60s. But what is truly its high-octane appeal is the mechanism that lies underneath the watch cover – a re-engineered case construction that mimics the technical construction of the car bonnet, which gives the wearer an intimate engagement as he flips it up to reveal the engine block. Powered by a rare vintage calibre from the 1960s, the manual-winding movement faithfully mirrors the gearbox system of the yesteryears automotive technology. The dials of the Twin Turbo take their design cues from vintage speedometers on the dashboard, which offers the wearer two time-zone readings at a glance. The Twin Turbo is available in the following executions: Yellow, Anthracite and Silver. Each is a limited edition of 88 pieces. Technical Specifications Limited edition: Only 88 pieces available worldwide Case size: 50mm (width) x 54mm (length) Case material: 316L stainless steel body; aluminium anodized bonnet Case back: 316L stainless steel Movement type: Manual Movement no.: Vintage calibre ETA2512-2 Power reserve: Approx 38hrs Dial: Black Glass: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 3ATM Strap type: Leather Strap material: Calf Buckle: Stainless steel deployant buckle Warranty: 2 years
