Romain Jerome x DC Comics Batman-DNA watches

Did you know Batman is 75 years old? He looks pretty good for such an old man and can kick some serious bad guy ass. To celebrate his 75th birthday, Colette has teamed up with Swiss watchmaker Romain Jerome and created the limited edition Romain Jerome x DC Comics Batman-DNA watches; limited to 75 pieces.

I’ve said this before and will say it again, since the “DNA” line of watches are made with material from what the watches are based on, like the Titanic-DNA, you’d expect the Batman-DNA watches to be made with something from Batman’s arsenal of weapons, or they would have some hidden gadgets to get you out of sticky situations.

Nope, there is none of that here. The watches come in the standard Romain Jerome DNA cases, all black out, of course. The dial features the classic Batman symbol with a unique background, covered with SuperLuminova, which glows blue in the dark, making the bat symbol the center of attention.

The black PVD-coated steel case measures 46mm and is covered with AR coated sapphire crystal. The watches are powered by Romain Jerome Caliber RJ001-A self-winding automatic movements, featuring 23 jewels and 42 hours of power reserve. The watches are water resistant to only 30 meters, but that’s okay, bats don’t like to go in the water anyway. The caseback features an engraved Batman symbol, the words “The Dark Knight”, and individual serial number of the watch.

The Romain Jerome Batman-DNA watches are priced at €14,950 (including tax), which works out to about $19,000 US at today’s exchange rate. These watches are exclusively available at Collette.
