Zinedine Zidane, The Ambassador Of Swiss Watch Manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen
Former France soccerstar Zinedine Zidane appointed as the newest ambassador of IWC Schaffhausen, The Swiss watch manufacturer. To dedicate Zidane, IWC Schaffhausen will launch a special model to him: the Ingenieur Automatic Edition Zinédine Zidane and will be available in a globally limited edition of 1,000 watches.
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 red and 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 designation “Ingenieur”. The back also carries the serial number of the limited edition of 1,000 watches.
The Ingenieur Automatic Edition Zinédine Zidane previously introduced by Georges Kern, CEO of IWC Schaffhausen and the world-renowned footballer himself at an exclusive event on 16 June at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris.
