Description & history

A Fendi Orologi 750L women’s watch · stainless steel · textured black dial with FF motif · link bracelet adorned with the interlocking FF logo · Swiss Made · in working order, battery recently replaced · 25 mm case · 16 cm length · grade B.

Fendi launched its watches in the late 1980s, drawing on Swiss movements. The Roman house applied the same logic as for its bags: the logo is not placed on the object, it becomes its structure. The Orologi line — a name that simply means “watches” in Italian — brings together the house’s first watch references, of which this 750L is one of the most characteristic models.

The FF signature operates on two levels, which is the full subtlety of the piece. First on the dial: a deep black entirely textured with the Zucca motif, where the two interlocking Fs cover the surface in filigree, barely visible depending on the angle of the light. Then on the bracelet: the central links are not simple steel plates, but are cut in the shape of the interlocking FF, alternating with solid links. The monogram is read twice — once recessed into the dial material, once as the structure of the bracelet chain.

The round 2.5 cm case retains a feminine, discreet look, with its applied baton indices and FENDI signature at the centre. The whole is in stainless steel, Swiss Made, giving the piece a black-and-steel contrast more interesting than the house’s all-gold models. The bracelet measures 16 cm and will fit a wrist up to 17.5 cm. Important point: the battery has recently been replaced, the watch is in working order and ready to wear upon receipt.

Good overall condition, grade B — light signs of previous use, micro-scratches from use on the case and bracelet, clean dial. No major flaws to report; the whole is documented in the photos. Sold with its box, protective cushion and RARR Vintage certificate of authenticity.
