Accessory of the Week: Limited edition super cool F1 watch

Watches have sadly become less and less prevalent on the wrists of Irish men, but there is an upside. Oh yes, those of us left sporting the fancy timepiece look cool and stand out from the crowd. And if you really want to set yourself apart then the Ltd Edition Certina Sauber F1 Watch is your only man.

Let's be honest, the boys at Certina know how to make some seriously tasty timepieces, but they've outdone themselves with this Sauber F1 watch.

They're calling it a 'Tribute to the racing spirit and innovation', whereas we're just calling it bloody fantastic. And as with everything that cool there's only a limited number. In fact there's only 20 in the whole country - and you can get one from our friends over at Arnotts. Certina are making 2012 in total, for the whole world, so you'll have to be as quick as a F1 driver to get your hands on one.

Each watch is individually numbered and has so many great features, like the second time zone, a 12-hour chronograph and specially-engraved case back. The watch comes in the colours of the Sauber team and has a bold 42mm brushed stainless-steel case and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

 

Each of the watches at Arnotts will have its own certificate of authenticity and special Formula 1-inspired display box.

You can get this beauty for €605 from Arnotts either online or instore. The Sauber team drivers are even getting in on the action. Here's Kamui Kobayashi sporting one in the pit lane, so that leaves about 2011 watches up for grabs.
