Gucci Release Fnatic Dive Watch - Fashion and Esports

Apart from celebrities and stars investing in esports from their own traditional scenes, other investors have cropped up as of late including the fashion giant of Gucci. Read on to learn how Gucci released a new and expensive dive watch for Fnatic fans and other implications this has on the esports industry below!

Let's tackle the topic at hand first - Gucci has crafted a brand new luxury watch purpose-built to support the LEC roster hosted by Fnatic for League of Legends. Priced at just over $1,600, the Fnatic logo encompassed by the black and orange design makes it the ultimate bling for either hardcore fans together with the players themselves of course. Take a look at it below: 

I'm no connoisseur when it comes to watches, but the following are some of the listed specifications for any interested parties: 

• It is limited edition - so stock will be limited and available for a select amount of time - 100 units right now
• Quartz dive watch
• 40mm case 
• Water resistance to 660 feet 

Check out the YouTube trailer below, which is rather dramatic: 

So, what can we interpret from this piece of news? Personally, I believe that it's a sign that an 'esports fashion industry' is on its way. Yes, multiple gaming companies such as Blizzard have their own apparel line, but the largest names in the industry are still thinking of investing. 

Last year, Louis Vuitton partnered with Riot Games to craft a travel case for the Trophy of the Summoner's Cup as awarded at the 2019 World Championship. It's definitely not a fashion item, but it's better than nothing. 

Gucci, on the other hand, seems determined to follow up the watch with other fashion pieces and personally, I'd love to see my own favourite organizations honoured with some quality items. 

That shifts the question to you - let us know in the comments section which esports organization you'd put the money down for some quality items!
