TIME-TESTED WENGER TIMEPIECES BLEND FUNCTIONALITY AND STYLE WITH FOUR NEW WATCHES
Orangeburg, NY - Wenger, the maker of the Genuine Swiss Army Knife, has taken several of its trademark watches and elevated them to a new level by adding even more real-world functionality and subtle sense of style. While still upholding the Swiss craftsmanship expected in their trusted timepieces, the new Commando Pilot, Commando Dual Time 2-Eye, AeroGraph Day Date, and Alpine series watches feature fashionable accents, rustic-hued finishes, and bright contrast stitching. Each watch provides a great blend of long standing functionality and tradition with a look fitting for today's modern man.
"Wenger's new watches combine our traditional Swiss standards of excellence, requisite multi-functionality with an added aesthetic of the attention to detail," said Guy Corcoran, Chief Marketing Officer, Wenger N.A. "These watches combine the best of both worlds for eye-catching accessories that are stylish enough to be worn for a night out on the town but versatile enough for casual living or work."
The Commando Pilot features its trademark, a second time zone allowing frequent flyers and busy travelers to track two time zones at once, but has added a new element of fashion - orange contrast stitching on both sides of its black lined leather strap, a colorful second hand, and inner bezel ring for a truly striking look. The watch is equipped with a 10-jewel Swiss quartz movement, 12-hour chrono function, date display, and is water resistant to 100m (330 feet). The MSRP for the Commando Pilot is $450.
Two for the price of one is the theme when discussing Wenger's new Commando Dual Time 2-Eye. The watch features two sub-dials, one enables the user to keep track of a second time zone while the other acts as full motion 60-second hand. Traditional 2nd - time zone watches simply have a 2nd hour hand. This piece is a watch within a watch as the second time zone sub-dial acts as a fully separate and functional timepiece. Complete with a 7-jewel Swiss quartz movement, date display, and stainless steel case with screw-on back to ensure 100m (330 feet) water resistance, the Commando Dual time 2-Eye is a fully functioning timepiece for any frequent traveler. Also for 2006, the Commando Dual Time 2-Eye has several new fashion-forward looks; a Havana brown model with lined leather strap and glossy brown face; two black leather strap models with white contrast stitching offset by a shiny white or matte black pinstripe face and silver accents; and a stainless steel link bracelet with a polished white pinstripe face and silver and black accents. The Commando Dual Time 2-Eye has a MSRP of $275 for the leather strap models and the stainless steel bracelet with diver's buckle is $325.
The AeroGraph Day Date sports Swiss quartz movement, a day and date display, luminous hands and markers for easy readability, and a stainless steel case with screw-on back for water resistance to 100m (330 feet). The AeroGraph Day Date Watch is perfect for a casual event, with jeans, or for the weekend as its black and brown style goes with any wardrobe. Featuring its brown calfskin leather strap with steel rivets, black face, and stainless steel rivets the AeroGraph is a versatile go-anywhere, do-anything watch that is a great watch for any man. MSRP for the AeroGraph Day Date is $175.
The Alpine Series, one of Wenger's more established styles, has added a retro military leather look to this line. Less is certainly not more for both the Alpine 2-Eye Day Date and Alpine Date as they come with an optional wrist protector that allows the watch to lie more comfortably on your wrist, plus adds a classic fashion element. The wrist protector comes in a deep chocolate brown leather while featuring Wenger's five-jewel Swiss quartz movement, stainless steel case with screw-on back to ensure water resistance to 100m (330 feet), and mineral crystal face. The Day Date displays feature a day of the week and date sub-dials while the Alpine Date showcases a date display. MSRP ranges from $175 to $250.
