Manchester United’s Official Timekeeper, Bulova Corporation, presented customized Manchester United Squad Watches Replica to the first team players at a private launch event on October 27, 2014. The event celebrated the partnership between the team and the global watchmaking company, while also introducing the Bulova Accu•Swiss Treble Collection.
Each first team player had a unique opportunity to create his own, bespoke version of the squad watch, with customization choices including individual signatures on the dial as well as a number of different caseback options, some as personal as family photographs. The customized squad watches replica, crafted of grade-5 titanium, are designed for players to wear during official Manchester United club duties.
Presenting the watches replica to team members, Bulova Corporation President, Gregory Thumm, noted that while developing individual watches replica for each first team member was ambitious, it was both a worthwhile testament and a token of esteem as we create new traditions shared by Manchester United and Bulova Corporation.
Die-hard Manchester United fans can also join in on these new traditions through the Accu•Swiss Treble Collection. The collection name is inspired by the Treble honour, which is given to a football club that wins three trophies in a single season and was achieved by Manchester United during the ’98-’99 season under Sir Alex Ferguson’s leadership. Of the three styles included within the Bulova Accu•Swiss Treble Collection, the signature squad watch exemplifies the innovative engineering, quality and craftsmanship of the Bulova Accu•Swiss brand, with its strong, agile multi-piece titanium case construction embodying the styling and ergonomic engineering expected in an inventive sport-minded timepiece. Made in Switzerland, with 26-jewel automatic movement and water resistance to 100 meters, this extraordinary timepiece features an all milled bezel, case, and caseback in grade-5 titanium coated with black carbonized titanium, and includes a red version of the team crest on its dial.
Now available at select U.S. Bulova retailers, the Treble Collection also includes two stainless steel versions of the design, each with brushed and polished 316L stainless steel case and high-performance rubber strap. One features a brushed silver-tone dial marked with the traditional red and yellow Manchester United crest (63B195), with the other offering a brushed black dial styled with a distinguishing blue crest and dial accents (63B189).
