There are opportunities in life that present themselves only once and it is up to the more proactive companies to take advantage of those opportunities. When Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner announced that he and Red Bull were going to team up to pull off the highest skydive in history, the watch manufacturer
Zenith seized on the opportunity to create a once in history timepiece. Now that
Felix Baumgartner has successfully broken four major skydiving records by falling from space, you can own the exact replica of the watch he wore during the dive that Zenith is releasing in tribute to the event.
The
Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Striking 10
th chronograph was designed to withstand the challenges involved in a free fall from the outer edges of our atmosphere back to Earth. Felix Baumgartner wore the very first El Primero Stratos Flyback Striking 10
th chronograph on his wrist as he plummeted to Earth and into the record books. A watch designed to handle a free fall from space can certainly handle any challenges on Earth. But this
designer watch is also an attractive precision timepiece that can go with any occasion and look good in any setting.
It gets its name from its 1/10
th of a second precision timing, and it gets its look from the traditional luxury sports watches we have seen through time. It has three smaller faces embedded into the main face to help count second, minutes and hours more accurately. As expected, the durable case of this watch is made from stainless steel with an adjustable band that can fit any wrist. The crystal sapphire glass is designed to withstand water and air pressure challenges that other watches would not be able to tolerate. It is built for strength and it is built to last.
The power reserve in the
Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Striking 10th chronograph will last up to 50 hours and the design includes up to 31 precious stones. The inner face is enhanced by an outer border that allows you to keep track of the hours and minutes that matter in your next sporting accomplishment. This watch is designed by Zenith to withstand any conditions you will put it in and it is also designed to look good when you want to head out on the town to celebrate your most recent leap into the world record books. It is a multi-purpose watch that has undergone a test phase that no other watch in history can say it has ever endured. This is truly a once in a lifetime watch.
