Gucci unveils new limited-edition Gucci Dive watch in partnership with Fnatic. Gucci’s contemporary Dive watch becomes the focus of a new collaboration harnessing and celebrating the spirit of gaming. In partnership with the global esports entertainment organisation Fnatic, the House is launching a limited-edition collection of Gucci Dive watches, bringing Gucci’s eclectic aesthetic into the world of gaming. Inspired by Fnatic’s prominent League of Legends team, this unique timepiece features Fnatic’s logo and signature black and orange colouring. Now available on gucci.com, the new Gucci Dive is eminently collectible, with only one hundred individually numbered pieces being made.
This contemporary, diver’s-inspired watch combines a 40mm stainless steel case with a black and orange bezel, black and orange multi-icon indices, and a black rubber strap embossed with the Gucci logo. Super LumiNova accents on the hands and indices light up the black dial, which also displays the GG logo, a signature House motif. ‘GG’ also stands for ‘good game’ in gaming. The caseback is engraved with ‘FNATIC’ and the limited-edition number of the piece. Water resistant to 200 metres, this unique Swiss Made timepiece embodies contemporary style and brings personality and character to any outfit.
The watch is showcased in a powerful video and a series of evocative images, featuring the five League of Legends players: Martin Larsson (‘Rekkles’), Zdravets Galabov (‘Hylissang’), Tim Lipovšek (‘Nemesis’), Gabriël Rau (‘Bwipo’) and Oskar Boderek (‘Selfmade’). Accompanied by an original soundtrack, the video shows the team in action in front of a live audience, capturing the thrill of esports and team spirit.
To celebrate the collaboration with Fnatic, Gucci has developed a new game dedicated to the Dive watch. This game, which will launch in the coming weeks, will be added to Gucci Arcade, the section of the Gucci App inspired by video games that allows users to play with House codes. In the game, called Gucci Dive, players will dive into an underwater cave with a special submarine bearing Fnatic’s logo in order to collect coins, while avoiding obstacles.
