Limited Edition of 40 Pieces
The new Type 5X is a limited-edition motoring-focused watch created to mark the company's 10th anniversary.
Collaboration with Eugenio Amos, founder of Automobili Amos.
A speed-loving racing driver, eclectic collector, Eugenio Amos is an Italian man of many passions as long as they are related to cars and watches. Eugenio is an entrepreneur and a visionary.
The best combination. A notable feat was his creation of a car that the international automotive community instantaneously felt in love with: the Automobili Amos Lancia Delta Futurista. It made its debut in 2018 at the Grand Basel motor show.
The Futurista utilises an original Delta chassis as a base and is completed with state-of-the-art technology and design practices. Italians do it better. Certainly when it comes to cars. For watches, we all know its Belgians ( ;-)). The collaboration started in the form of a question when Eugenio Amos came to visit the Ressence studio in Antwerp: "Would it be possible to make a genuine driver watch that has a function related to time and cars"? That was the challenge.
