Luxury fashion house Salvatore Ferragamo has reworked the Faragamo Sapphire timepiece for its latest Fall/Winter 2021 collection. The new quartz chronograph version of this understated staple delivers an elevated sense of refinement and sophistication.
More specifically, the updated model features a sporty checkerboard guilloché punched into the watch's dial, an anti-scratch sapphire crystal case, and a double Gancini symbol found beneath the date display and double counters.
The Ferragamo Sapphire will be delivered in four versions, including two stainless steel butterfly iterations -- one equipped with gold mid links -- and two in black and navy colorways, both with rubber checkerboard straps. All four of the versions are delivered in a 41 mm size and equipped with a Ronda Z50 Quartz Chronograph.
