Indiana-Heisman DIASIMOS – Mendoza Autographed Box Set Edition
The Watch Worn for the Moment
The DIASIMOS is the model that Fernando Mendoza wore when hoisting the Heisman trophy for the first time. This watch is part of his story, and it can be part of yours, too.
This special-edition watch was created to honor a journey decades in the making and celebrate a historic first for Indiana football. Every element, expressed through Swiss Made craftsmanship and deeply intentional design, reflects the path Mendoza traveled and the people who carried him forward.
With only 25 being produced, the DIASIMOS Heisman Edition is designed to preserve a defining moment in college football history.
