Eberhard & Co. Tazio Nuvolari 336 Limited Edition
On 15 June 1935, at Firenze‐Mare Motorway, Tazio Nuvolari created a new world record of maximum speed of 336 km/h in an Alfa Romeo 16C Twin‐engine, a racing car designed by Enzo Ferrari (then director of Alfa Romeo’s Racing Division). Drawing inspiration from this famous episode, traditional Swiss watch maker Eberhard & Co is unveiling the special edition TAZIO NUVOLARI 336 timepiece, a tribute to one of most legendary names in the history of car racing.
For the first time the Tazio Nuvolari collection includes a timepiece that offers the reading of two different time zones, one of the ‘useful complications’ best loved by watch enthusiasts throughout the world.
Great simplicity and legibility make the Tazio Nuvolari 336 a classic example of dual time technology, in the pure tradition of a brand that has dedicated over a century to meeting the practical requirements of the most exacting consumers.
The watch, produced in a limited edition of 336 pieces, is animated by a mechanical automatic‐winding movement. The second time zone is displayed at 12 o’clock, while at 6 o’clock there is the indication of the power reserve. The date window is positioned at 3 o’clock.
The movement is housed in a large steel case (45 mm in diameter and waterproof to a depth of 100 metres) which, together with several red details, gives the Tazio Nuvolari 336 a striking look and a winning personality.
The great champion’s presence is transmitted by the symbolic number 336, the driver’s signature and the initials ‘TN’ within the carapace, the emblem of Tazio Nuvolari.
The watch is notable for its raw‐cut ceramic bezel, particularly thick at a side view: the result is a pleasing three‐dimensional effect enriched by hollowed hour-markers. The Dual Time function is regulated at the 10 o’clock position through a button characterized by an elongated shape and embellished with the driver’s initials.
The Eberhard Tazio Nuvolari 336 watch is secured at the back by 8 screws and it comes with a black alligator strap with red stitching, completed by a buckle engraved with “E&Co.”
