First he had the cookware line, then he got the shoes, now he's scored his own watch. Chef Mario Batali has made quite a sideline out of his trademark orange color. His latest adventure is a partnership with Swiss watch brand Ernst Benz to create a limited-edition watch that benefits hunger awareness. The Mario Batali Limited Edition Ernst Benz Great Circle Automatic comes in three sizes, 36 mm, 40mm and the Batali-sized 47mm. The watch is, of course, decorated with accents in Batali's signature color, orange. Each size is limited and numbered to 250 and proceeds from the series will be donated to The Food Bank for New York City. A picture of the watch on Mario's wrist is after the jump.
