MEET JACOB & CO.’S NEW HOROLOGICAL SPLENDOR: THE LIMITED-EDITION EPIC X CHRONO, A FEARLESS ALLIANCE WITH WORLD-RENOWNED UFC CHAMPION KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV
BY ARCHANA AITHAL ROSE
Most sports aficionados would agree that Russian MMA fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov is revered as an undefeatable beast, having emerged a champion 28 times from the UFC Octagon, or “the cage,” as it’s often called. Jacob Arabo, founder of luxury jewelry and watch retailer Jacob & Co., was a fan, and keeping with the brand’s history of creating revolutionary timepieces and past affiliations with stalwarts like Lionel Messi and Bugatti (amongst others), Arabo partnered with Nurmagomedov for the Epic X Chrono. The standout model features a 47mm, grade five titanium case fitted with a striking green mineral crystal dial, white rubber pusher, an inner rotating bezel, skeleton hands in white super Luminova, and red chronograph. The case back in mineral crystal and sapphire glass also features a custom Khabib logo with his signature. With extraordinary artistry, a power reserve of 48 hours, and water resistance of 200 meters, this is the ultimate sports watch.
