So, Marvin has dropped two versions of its new timepiece, a nod to its connection to the motorsports world, and a partnership with brand ambassador Sébastien Loeb. I favor the automatic chrono, of course, but it’s very cool to see a maker hitting every part of its demo by offering quartz and automatic versions of this beast.
Loeb was recently crowned world champion for the seventh time, to many he is considered to be the greatest rally driver of all time. As stated, Marvin has dropped two chronographs for this rally dude and both proudly carry his signature. The new Loeb Special Edition is offered in two versions: a mechanical, automatic-rewinding chronograph, Valjoux 7750, in a Limited Edition of 777 pieces, and a quartz chronograph accurate to 1/10th of a second. The quartz version carries the Sébastien Loeb signature on the dial at 4 and engraved on the caseback with the inscription, “World Rally Champion”. The automatic version has the signature engraved on the sapphire crystal of the transparent caseback which reveals the mechanical movement and its rotor in the Marvin colours.
Rally on, Marvin!!!
