Prometheus // BLACKFIN’s Limited Masterpiece
»Prometheus« by BLACKFIN is a true tour de force from the Italian premiumlabel: technical, aesthetic, and symbolic in equal measure. This worldwide limited edition of just 500 pieces – 250 per colorway – is not only a tribute to artisanal mastery but also a bold declaration in titanium.
Named after the mythical Titan who brought fire to humanity, »Prometheus« embodies progress, innovation, and fearless exploration – values deeply embedded in BLACKFIN’s DNA. Milled from a single block of titanium with micrometer precision, the frame features aluminum rings that create striking depth and a commanding, sculptural presence. Every surface is hand-polished to a mirror finish – turning vision into a tactile experience.
