The collaborative collection includes a total of three references, Epic X Sport Edition Manchester City, a brand new model from Jacob & Co., Epic X Chrono 44 Edition Manchester City in Rose Gold/Blue Ceramic, and Epic X Chrono 44 Edition Manchester City in full Rose Gold.

The first model is a 41mm titanium timepiece powered by the automatic Jacob & Co. JCHA01 Caliber. It has a rhodium dial with a diamond-shaped pattern, highlighting the Manchester City logo at 6 o’clock. Light blue aluminum accents on the crown and inner ring, along with a honeycomb rubber strap, reflect the club's colors.
