Cuervo y Sobrinos has launched a new edition of its classic Historiador ‘Flameante’ timepiece, in partnership with and available exclusively at renowned British retailer, CW Sellors.

Combining the grand British style with the Cuban flair, this exclusive British Racing Green edition is limited to just 30 pieces.

Inspired by an original model produced by Cuervo y Sobrinos in the 1950s, the new Historiador Flameante watch features an ultra-slim, vintage-style case and a green swirling guilloché flame motif dial.

The luxurious shade of the dial highlights the elegant British style, as well as Roman numerals at 3, 6 and 9 that echo traditional English watches and clocks.

Eight silver spear-shaped and faceted hour markers, along with the Roman numerals at 3, 6 and 9 and the brand logo at noon, are applied to the surface of the dial providing additional depth and volume. At 6 o’clock, there is a recessed small seconds counter with a snailed interior and the word ‘Flameante’. The elegant lance-shaped hands have luminescent coating at their tips.

The vintage-inspired double-curved sapphire crystal front glass ensures excellent dial legibility and showcases the beautiful pattern. The thin bezel offers a generous panorama of the dial.

Available in stainless steel, the case of the Historiador Flameante has a diameter of 40 mm and an ultra-thin height of just 6.2 mm. The jutting lugs are inspired by the tailfins of classic cars popular in Havana. They are ergonomically designed and extremely comfortable on the wrist. Unobtrusive yet easy to manipulate, the crown sits close to the caseband.

The CYS Historiador Flameante watch is equipped with the ultra-thin (2.5 mm) Swiss hand-wound movement (base ETA 7001). Visible through the sapphire crystal window on the caseback, the movement is finished to the highest standard of craftsmanship.

Engraved by hand, plumes and swirls glisten in gold tones and blued screws catch the light to provide vivid contrast. The caseback is engraved with ‘Swiss Manufacture Latin Heritage’, a reference to the unique story of the Cuervo y Sobrinos brand.

A handsome Louisiana alligator strap in British racing green adds the final touch of elegance to the Historiador Flameante.
