Notes
This watch was launched during the second season of the “Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo” in 2010. The association of Blancpain and Lamborghini has given birth to an exceptional automobile championship with six events throughout the year. The Super Trofeo sees the new Lamborghini Gallardo compete. The watch’s black dial is distinguished by its two red and white numerals, “9” and “12”, stylised in the image of the numbers displayed by the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 cars.
