He is an incredibly hard working and talented driver, and has been a great ambassador of the brand this past year.  We are delighted to celebrate this milestone with such a special watch.

Sebastien was quickly captivated by the design of the new Predator 2.0 at SIHH.  It did not take much time to imagine this limited edition with his lucky color, yellow, and high-tech racing materials such as forged carbon. This exclusive timepiece perfectly represents the close friendship that we share with this great Swiss champion!

Sebastien Buemi: “I joined the Rebellion family as an ambassador one year ago and as a driver in January this year.  I am really proud to celebrate our first anniversary with a special edition of the Predator 2.0. The watch looks amazing and with the carbon fiber, and represents motorsport at its best.  The yellow color and the number 16 are my identities in racing and I am now looking forward to wear it in and out of the car! “
