The anniversary collection introduces two distinctive versions. The Classic Bambino time-and-date model is limited to 9,500 units and features a stainless steel case with dimensions of 40.50mm x 12.30mm x 46.50mm. It has an elegant white dial with applied rose gold-tone Roman numerals, a blue three-handset, and a date window positioned near the crown.

The Bambino day-of-week and sun-moon display model is limited to 5,500 units. It features a stainless steel case measuring 41.50mm x 14.20mm x 47mm. The design includes a white dial adorned with rose gold-tone Roman numerals, a sun-moon display at 5 o’clock, and a day-of-week indicator at 10 o’clock. Powered by the in-house 22-jewel F6B24 automatic movement, this version is priced at €449.
Design and Features
Both models boast meticulous craftsmanship, including domed crystal for a vintage-inspired aesthetic, a fluted crown at 3 o’clock for easy time adjustments, and an open case back engraved with “Since 1950 75th Anniversary” along with a unique serial number. They are water-resistant up to 30 meters.
The elegant white dials, complemented by a blue handset and the brand’s original 1950s logo, evoke a sense of classic sophistication.
Each watch comes paired with a suede leather strap in sand tones and an additional brown leather strap, featuring an interchangeable strap system for versatility.
