Observe What Lancia Is Currently Doing Instead of Releasing Actual Vehicles | Carscoops

      A new limited-edition watch commemorates the revival of Lancia’s HF badge, featuring Swiss craftsmanship, sleek design, and a release of only 360 pieces in three dial styles.

      Lancia has collaborated with Eberhard & Co to create a watch inspired by the HF. Only 360 of these limited-edition timepieces will be produced. It is powered by a Selita SW200 movement, offering a power reserve of 38 hours.

      Once a powerhouse in motorsport, Lancia has experienced a decline into mediocrity with a lineup that seemed aimless, to say the least. However, after years of inactivity, the brand is indicating a resurgence by reviving the HF Integrale name and re-entering the rally scene with renewed ambition.

      With the brand regaining some intrigue and at least a touch of optimism, it has chosen this time to introduce a limited-edition watch. Collaborating with Eberhard & Co, this watch celebrates the return of Lancia’s iconic HF logo and is limited to just 360 units.

      This car-branded watch maintains a refreshingly straightforward approach, which may be its greatest asset. It features a 41 mm stainless steel case that is only 10.45 mm thick (thinner than a Rolex Submariner, for comparison) and operates on a Selita SW200-1 11½ self-winding movement. The power reserve is rated at 38 hours.

      Water resistance is rated at 50 meters, making it suitable for splashes, rain, and light swimming, but not for diving or prolonged submersion. It also boasts a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating and polished, conical skeleton hands filled with Superluminova for visibility at night.

      The standout feature is the slanted HF logo, complemented by striking red accents on the seconds hand. Buyers will have the option of a blue, white, or black sunburst-finished dial.

      On the back of the watch are the Lancia logo and a serial number. It will be available with either a vintage leather strap featuring red stitching or a stainless-steel bracelet.

      For reference, Eberhard & Co has been in existence for over 135 years, making it 16 years older than Lancia. Although the new watch was initially unveiled several months ago, sales have only recently commenced.

      Each dial variation will be limited to 120 pieces and will be available only through select authorized Eberhard & Co. retailers. Prices start at €1,980, equivalent to around $2,320 at current exchange rates.

      Earlier this year, Lancia revived the HF badge with an exciting new variant of the Ypsilon. This model is powered by an electric motor producing a lively 276 hp and 255 lb-ft (345 Nm) of torque, enabling the car to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.6 seconds.

      While this new model may not compare to legendary versions like the Delta HF Integrale, it represents a promising step forward.
