Bugatti has released its latest collaboration with VIITA Watches, the Carbone Limited Edition by VIITA the world’s first limited-run smartwatch, and the first to be constructed with a full carbon fiber housing. Just like in the modern era of Bugatti, carbon fiber is a crucial material.
Wiebke Ståhl, Managing Director at Bugatti International, points out: “At Bugatti, the use of innovative technologies and materials is just as important as appearance, usability, and reliability. The Carbone Limited Edition smartwatch incorporates it all, not just through its use of carbon fiber but also with regards to beauty, rarity, and technology.”
Compared to the first model, the Bugatti Ceramique Edition One smartwatch, the Carbon Limited Edition as 22% increased battery capacity to 540 mAh, but thanks to the light carbon fiber the overall weight has been reduced by 13% despite the larger battery. In normal use, without using the GPS services, the battery lasts up to 15 days. In always-on mode, battery life of two to three days can be expected.
Much like the Bugatti Ceramique Edition One smartwatch range, it features a GPS sensor specially developed for this range of watches, housed among 1,000 intricately packaged components, which provides an entirely new level of accuracy. Wearers taking it to the racetrack can have their lap times and acceleration data recorded automatically by the watch.
Dual-sensors measure both heart rate and heart rate variability to report detailed health data to the wearer, which can be logged on more than 90 different sports. Cardiovascular recovery, training recommendations, biological age, and stress level measurements are each generated and supported. More basic functions like step counting and sleep monitoring are also included.
The Bugatti Carbone Limited Edition is waterproof to 100 m or 10 ATM and comes with a 390*390px AMOLED Sapphire glass touch screen with 16.7 million colors. Owners of the watch have the choice of wearing it with a gray silicone/nylon strap or a black silicone strap – both included in the box.
As a testament to the quality of every Bugatti smartwatch, a five-year warranty is provided – a new standard for smartwatches offered only by Bugatti. Only 2,500 pieces will ever be created, with the first 500 delivered in December with each watch selling for $2,555.
