The models in the Scuderia Collection display the shield with the Prancing Horse which fi rst appeared on a Scuderia Ferrari car in 1932, on the occasion of the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps.
This emblem was adopted by Enzo Ferrari for his cars as a tribute to Francesco Baracca,an aviation hero of the First World War.
This symbol is the leitmotiv in the Ferrari Scuderia collection which includes a wide range of models, the sophisticated style of which refl ects their sporty character. Starting from the 45 mm and 40 mm case, with an aerodynamic design; quality developed not only in details but also in the conception of the watch itself and its parts.
The aesthetic originality of the Scuderia collection is also re- fl ected in the various elements of the dial which show clear references to the car as does the black leather strap, with contrasting stitching and the inside lined with caiman. Its horizontal shaping recalls the leather seats of the cars produced by Ferrari.
