REC Watches has officially announced the launch of their latest limited edition timepiece, the Bullitt 558, scheduled for release on April 7th. This new project is inspired by the iconic 1968 film Bullitt and the Highland Green '68 Mustang Fastback driven by Steve McQueen. The brand is currently encouraging interested collectors to sign up for early access to the project. Those who sign up for the launch notification will receive exclusive access to a 48-Hour Launch Offer when the collection becomes available. The email highlights the significance of the 1968 film’s chase sequence through San Francisco, noting its reputation for mechanical realism and precision. The timepiece aims to capture the "King of Cool" aesthetic and the pure, non-CGI action of the original muscle car era. While specific technical specifications of the watch were not detailed in this announcement, the Bullitt 558 is part of the brand's Muscle Car series of limited editions. REC Watches specializes in incorporating salvaged components from historic vehicles into their designs, and this model continues that tradition by drawing from the legendary Mustang featured in the cinematic chase sequence.
