Guitar meets watch with the Bvlgari Aluminium GMT x Fender Limited Edition. The watch pays homage to the Fender Stratocaster guitar, an iconic instrument that celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2024. For which the guitar brand released the Fender 70th Anniversary American Vintage II 1954 Stratocaster.

The guitar became and is still world famous because stars like Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Holly, David Gilmour, George Harrison, Mark Knopfler, John Mayer, John Frusciante, and Nile Rodgers played it. And many, many more renewed artists.

Since its release in 1954, the Stratocaster has been in continuous production, evolving with new models and modifications while maintaining its classic design. Its sound, feel, and look remain timeless, making it a guitar that transcends musical eras and genres.

Bvlgari vs Stratocaster

It’s not that you can put some strings, frets or a tremolo on a watch to let it blend with a guitar. But the Bvlgari Aluminium GMT x Fender Limited Edition certainly has some recognizable elements of the Stratocaster, however mainly the colors.

The dark brown, creme and gradient colors can be found on the rubber bezel and on the dial of this GMT model. Which gives the watch a bit of a woody appearance. Just look at the colors of the day/night indication and the colors of the numerals of the 24-hour scale.

The Bvlgari Aluminium GMT x Fender Limited Edition has a power reserve of 42 hours

Inside this 40-millimeter aluminium Bvlgari-Fender watch runs the Bvlgari caliber BVL B192, an automatic we’ve seen in the Bvlgari Aluminium GMT Black as well, for instance. An automatic Sellita based GMT caliber with a power reserve of 42 hours.

This Bvlgari Aluminium GMT x Fender Limited Edition comes on a dark brown articulated rubber bracelet with aluminium links and Velcro strap. The case back is from DLC-coated titanium with the Fender logo, and the watch is limited to 1,200 pieces.
