Versace Men’s VFI050013 “Apollo” Rose Gold Ion-Plated and Stainless Steel Casual Watch
Versace is probably one of the most well-known brands in the world, but few people know how the designer label got its start. Versace is an Italian fashion company that began in 1978. The brand’s first boutique opened in Milan in 1978 and quickly gained international acclaim due to the black dress that was worn by Elizabeth Hurley. In 1997, the man behind the brand, Gianni Versace, passed away. His sister, Donatella Versace then took over as the creative director while his older brother Santo Versace became the CEO. Donatella’s daughter Allegra was given a 50 percent stake in the company via Gianni’s will, giving her control of the brand on her eighteenth birthday. The brand continued to grow in the new millennium with celebrities being spotted in Versace brands at high-profile events.
In addition to their well-known clothing line, Versace also makes luxury accessory such as men’s watches. The Versace Men’s VFI050013 “Apollo” Rose Gold Ion-Plated and Stainless Steel Casual Watch is one of their most well-known pieces. The watch is imported from Italy and features a 2-tone color palette that’s very popular today. A sunday dial adorned with Greca symbols and Medusa on the crown are just some of the details the piece includes. The inside of the watch runs on fine Swiss Quartz movement with an analog display. The dial is protected by a clear crystal sapphire window which reduces glare and provides clear viewing. A date window at the 3 o’clock position and push-button closure on the strap round out the design.
The watch is rated as water resistant to 165 feet, which makes it suitable for swimming and even showering. Exposure to salt water can cause corrosion, so it is recommended to remove the piece before ocean activities.
The Versace Men’s VFI050013 “Apollo” Rose Gold Ion-Plated and Stainless Steel Casual Watch has a rose gold case that is attached to a 2-tone band. The band has 3 rose gold stripes with silver stripes in between. The centre rose gold stripe is accented with a Grecian design that matches the symbols on the dial. Links may be added or removed to customize the fit of the watch, making it ideal for wearers of all sizes. The hands of the watch and the hour markers are done in the same rose gold finish as the rest of the watch for a streamlined appearance. A single dial on the outside of the case allows you to control the hour, minute and date functions.
The watch ships in a Versace watch box. The box provides protection and also a suitable case for gift-giving or storage purposes. The case includes plenty of padding and a secure place to hold the watch so as to prevent jostling and damage. The Versace watch makes a great gift for a special person in your life. The included case can also be used for packaging and presentation purposes.
