Few athletes have built a personal brand as powerful as Cristiano Ronaldo. Over more than two decades, the Portuguese superstar has become synonymous with excellence, discipline, and an uncompromising pursuit of greatness. The Jacob & Co X CR7 Epic X transforms those values into a mechanical timepiece that combines contemporary watchmaking with one of football's most recognizable identities.
A Longstanding Partnership
Cristiano Ronaldo and Jacob Arabo, founder of Jacob & Co, have shared a close relationship for many years. Their latest collaboration goes beyond placing a famous name on a dial. Instead, the watch incorporates visual references inspired by Ronaldo's career while remaining faithful to the distinctive DNA of the Epic X collection.
Built on the iconic Epic X platform, the CR7 edition celebrates both technical craftsmanship and sporting achievement.
Designed Around Cristiano Ronaldo
Every detail of the watch tells part of Ronaldo's story.
The movement is framed by the recognizable X-shaped architecture that defines the Epic X collection. Extending through the skeletonized movement are two vertical bridges with symbolic meaning:
- The left bridge features Cristiano Ronaldo captured in an iconic celebration pose.
- The right bridge carries the famous CR7 logo together with his signature.
Perhaps the most striking detail is the skeletonized mainspring barrel at 12 o'clock, designed in the shape of a football, immediately reinforcing the sporting inspiration behind the watch.
Green accents throughout the dial, bezel ring, crown and rubber strap further emphasize Ronaldo's Portuguese heritage while giving the watch a vibrant contemporary appearance.
A Fully Skeletonized Movement
Inside beats the manually wound JCAM45 caliber.
Composed of 158 components, the movement delivers a 48-hour power reserve while operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz).
Its openworked construction allows the wearer to appreciate the movement from both the front and the sapphire caseback, where another tribute to Ronaldo appears in the form of a gold-toned image wearing his legendary number 7 jersey.
