Versace arrives with new iterations of the Icon Active series, an assortment of timepieces inspired by the Spring/Summer 2022 runway held during Milan Fashion Week, two of which introduce a graphic camouflage screen print.

Versace introduced the Icon Active series alongside its Fall/Winter collection in 2021. The luxury brand returns with a newly designed chronograph that adopts seasonal motifs and color stories — like the iconic silk foulard that dominated the S/S 2022 runway. Defined by an industrial design language, the black, lilac and orange silhouettes incorporate polycarbonate throughout the strap, bezel and case, followed by the brand’s signature Greca motif embedded into the band. A 3D, gold-toned Medusa motif is centered near the 12 o’clock position, including a matching crown and metallic pushers. The black colorway distinctly features a blue-toned bezel with tonal hour markers and hands, finished with black hardware and a semi-transparent band. Similarly, the lilac and orange silhouettes display neon green hour markers and hands that pop against the gold-plated hardware.

The Versace logo is embossed at the top and bottom of the bezel, with psychedelic lettering that melts just above the calendar window. The Swiss-made timepieces feature RONDA 5021.D movement, are water-resistant and come equipped with a Chrono quartz case. Versace’s latest lineup draws inspiration from street style through sporty, psychedelic accents, boasting premium functionality through a unique, urban flair.

Each timepiece retails for $995 USD. Watch the Unboxing video above to see the watch in action. Check out the Icon Active series at Versace’s website, Saks and in-store at select retailers.
