UPGRADE TIME
In the 1970s Unitrex made the Monte Carlo: a watch believed to be the first to offer digital gameplay. The choice on offer was between roulette, dice and jackpot. Now that many of the video game lovers of the 80s and 90s have grown up and are looking for luxury models, watchmaking’s elite responds via a similar conceptual ingenuity. Breitling is entering the interactive world of fashion by inserting its Chronomat in Drest’s virtual wardrobe, while Omega is relying on the Seamaster Planet Ocean “Deep Black” for experiences on the edge of the most extreme sports simulations, and Bell & Ross has opted for the most classic symbol of “Game Over”, the skull, to animate the dial of its awesome BR 01 Cyber Skull.
