I just love the name… the watch is a bonus!

Made by Cuervo y Sobrinos, the watch makes up part of a collection that stays true to its roots in the heart of the Caribbean.

The dial, case, lugs, pushers and materials are a combination of precious metals including titanium, gold, burnished steel and bronze. It also offers interchangeable rings that fit in layers between the case and the bezel. Other features include the case and chronograph pushers inspired by the shape of a cannon, grooved cannonball detail on the crown and the space between the lugs representing the bow of a ship.

To add to the Cuban flava the box it comes in is modelled around a “treasure chest” humidor and includes a deck of Cuervo y Sobrinos playing cards.

There’s 2 versions:
Chronograph: 25 of each in steel, titanium and 18-carat gold; and 125 of each in steel, titanium and bronze.
GMT: 25 of each in steel, titanium and 18-carat gold and 125 of each in steel, titanium and bronze

Retails around a respectable £4,825
