Conquistador Special Edition Benfica

June 2001




Conquistador, with its famous curved watch-case is now declined in a Benfica Special Edition.

The Portuguese football club S.L. Benfica, winner of the Coupe des Rois Franck Muller 2001, is the object of the creation of a limited series of 30 pieces:

the 8002 SC Benfica

Commercialised to mark that victory, the Conquistador 8002 SC Benfica, is a steel watch with a rubber band. Its white dial is sun guillochÉ lacquered and its raised numerals are mirror polished and nickel-plated. As a reminder of the position of the famous attacker Eusebio, the number 10 is coloured in red.

This limited series bears a Calibre Franck Muller 2800 movement. It has an autonomy of 44 hours and displays the hours, minutes, second as well as the date at 6 o'clock.

Technical mastery and sporty design best describe this Conquistador Special Edition Benfica.
