Designed in partnership with Luis Campos – the distinguished and renowned football scout and one of the best technical directors in world football – the U52 breaks with its underwater vocation to appeal to fans of the beautiful game. This collaboration with the sporting mastermind features a number of technical, graphical, and personal details. Based on a fundamental model from its collection, Angelus presents a limited-series watch released in just 25 copies: a powerful yet lightweight skeleton tourbillon steeped in turquoise.
Luis Campos is not an ambassador – he is a friend of Angelus, who harbors a particular appreciation for the brand’s creations. Angelus developed this limited-edition U52 in close collaboration with him.
This means that the U52 is able to reach depths of 300 meters unscathed and features a 60-minute timing system. Instead of occupying the bezel, the system is situated inside the case on the flange divided into five-minute intervals. This unidirectional rotating ring is operated using the crown at 2 o’clock. One of the U52’s specific features is that the markings from zero (the Angelus logo) to 45 are in a different shade of blue. Their distinct color means they can be used to time each half of a football match. Another characteristic that makes this edition so special is the small seconds which, instead of being indicated by a hand, is mounted on a disc painted with a Super-LumiNova football.
