TCM “Fiat 4 Stars” Limited edition

TCM “Fiat 4 Stars” Limited edition of Italy's victories at the World Cup. Previously unobtainable

There is a precise moment in which you realize that time is not just a linear sequence of seconds. It's when you discover that a chronograph can measure exactly 45 minutes - like a regulation game time - and you understand that this watch was not designed to count minutes, but to honor the collective memory of a people who have seen a Cup raised four times. This celebratory Terra Cielo Mare was produced in a limited edition to pay homage to the four World Cups won by the Italian national football team. On the caseback, engraved with abundance and pride, the years stand out: 1934, 1938, 1982, 2006.Four stars. A single patriotic beat. The technical peculiarity (in addition to its sober and at the same time proud design) is that minute counter at 45, as if it wanted to tell you: "Only the time you know you have counts. The rest is recovery, and they don't always give you that." Specifications: Terra Cielo Mare chronograph with Fiat logo clearly visible (not the new and flat logo, but the historic one, almost an author's signature in italics) Automatic movement, designed to last longer than your football memories White dial, golden numbers, three counters: one of which at 45 minutes, for those whose heart is set in the middle of the pitch Original leather strap (but low cut on one side - I declare it without hesitation, in the name of transparency radical); I am supplying a new replacement strap, as a gesture of care and continuity. Case back engraved with the 4 stars and the dates of the triumphs. More than a retro, a pocket monument. Condition: Used, yes. But how do you use what has meaning. It bears the signs of time, but is not bent by it. The glass is clean, the case is intact, the movement works perfectly. The only real "injury" is the strap, but I declare it and I accompany it - as one accompanies an old teammate who leaves to applause. Hard to find first round edition.
