Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons launches latest timepiece from GC, the GC sport class XXL blackout

After its successful unveiling at BASELWORLD 2011, the world’s leading watch and jewellery show, the Gc Sport Class XXL Blackout is now being brought to the United Arab Emirates by Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons. Aligning Swiss-made precision with cutting-edge design, the timepiece allows the wearer to make a statement which is expressive, unique and a true mark of distinction.
Inspired by the thrill and boldness of the luxury sports car industry, the Sport Class XXL Blackout is a reflection of superior mechanical precision and technical prowess. Distinguishing features include chronograph movements with 30-minute and 60-second counters, a dial with hand-applied indices and Arabic numerals and scratch and water resistance. Furthermore, the new Sport Class XXL Blackout boasts an elegant matt black sheen for a forceful and unforgettable appearance that has been motivated by the usage of matt black as a reflection of high-end sophistication within the automotive industry.
“With a commanding and rugged design, the Sport Class XXL Blackout is a statement of power and strength for the urban trendsetter that was very well received at BASELWORLD. Following this successful debut on the international arena, we are pleased to be able to offer it to our clients in the United Arab Emirates, who can now also experience an extraordinary timepiece which has been crafted to reflect a love of precision, mechanical superiority and unmatched technical complexity that is synonymous with luxury sports cars,” commented Mr. Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons.
