Pininfarina->ke69, in cooperation with watch maker Bovet, has unveiled the Ottana Tourbillon, an exclusive watch limited to only 80 pieces and rumored to be priced between $280,000 - to $300,000.

The new Bovet Pininfarina Tourbillon Ottana watch will be offered in three different versions. The first one is coated in a steel and titanium case and the other two models coated in titanium with either 18k white or rose gold bezels.

The watch has special indicators for time (with a smaller single hand dial on the back of the watch), a seconds hand that makes a revolution each three minutes with an indicator for each minute, big date indicator, power reserve indicator (watch has about 80 hours of power reserve), and a unique 80 second tourbillon. We could go into all of the bells and whistles, but it would probably be easier to hit the jump and check out the specifications for yourself.

Specifications after the jump.
