ENNEBI Strumento WPS2021 For the Watchprosite 20th Anniversary

Strumento WPS2021 by Alessandro Bettarini (NB) only for the Watchprosite

After much discussions, Nicolas and myself came voted to bring our project to Alessandro BETTARINI because to us he represents most of the joy and fun we have known in our horology experiences. We were thrilled and happy Alessandro accepted our project this despite is other engagements and grand age.

Our friend Alessandro BETTARINI is highly qualified engineer even if very discreet he is a pillar of the Florentine watch industry, his creations and interpretations have contributed to the international success of 2 important brands. What’s more, other of his unknown to the public creations are used in the military and medical sectors.

This strumento WPS2021 is aimed for sport, underwater activities and casual wear. The character of this watch is influenced by passionated experiences and carries the spirit of Firenze

This watch will only be made one time, it is reserved exclusively for the 20th Anniversary (05/2021) of the watchprosite.

Most importantly the strumento WPS2021 case-back bears the signature of Alessandro BETTARINI.

Am committed to a watch.

This is a solid diver 500m depth. Will have to explore some strap options for every occasion. Would love to see the patina develop. Thanks guys.

Thanks for your kind words, Bill.

No doubt a robust durable strumento

I love it !
