— September 29, 2024 — Marketing
Bulgari and Fender have entered an unexpected collaboration that merges luxury watchmaking with iconic musical heritage.

The Bulgari Aluminium GMT x Fender is a limited edition watch, with only 1,200 pieces available in the world. It commemorates the 70th anniversary of the Fender Stratocaster guitar, which is considered to be a cultural icon in the music world.

Designed with a focus on innovative materials, the timepiece that was co-designed by Bulgari and Fender features an aluminum case paired with a dark brown rubber bezel and bracelet. Its GMT 24-hour function is complemented by a gradient dial in brown and cream, reflecting the color palette of the classic Fender guitar. The 40 mm case includes notable details such as a date window at the 3 o’clock position and rhodium-plated hands filled with Super-LumiNova™.
