BIRDMAN® WATCHES
BIRDMAN® announces the first skydivers premium quality, 500 piece limited edition watch collection.
BIRDMAN® Has taken skydiving to new heights with newly launched wingsuit inspired watch collection. The first three limited edition designs are the result of passion to innovate unique, high-quality watches for skydivers, B.A.S.E - jumpers, aviators and adventurers alike.
These exclusive time instruments are designed to work and function in the most extremes of conditions, to withstand velocities and G–forces that can break a man. As is the case with all parachute equipment the watches’ designs follow the main objective - to tell the time and to be able to calculate the distance and speed in all conditions. This is done in true unmistakable and uncompromising style.
In the watches’ hearts ticks the finest electro-mechanical Swiss quartz movement, engineered for accuracy and exceptionally long battery life. The case is crafted from aerospace grade 316-L stainless steel, and a limited edition comes with black PVD coating. The case is equipped with an unidirectional bezel. The blue-tinted, non-reflective and scratchproof sapphire crystal comes second in hardness only to diamond. The watches’ etched faces are made of real carbon fiber, and the designs have a distinctive altimeter look, familiar to all aviators. Both crown and the case back are screwed down to make the timepiece water resistant to 100 M / 10 ATM. The straps are made from real parachute nylon that can stand thousands of kilograms of both sudden and sustained pull. Also, a classical thick calf leather strap is offered for more formal occasions.
The BIRDMAN® Watch sales starts in November 2013. Dealers are wanted worldwide.
BIRDMAN is an original, pioneering company in the skydiving field and was the first to introduce wingsuits for skydivers in 1999. Wingsuit-flying is the sport of flying the human body through air using a special winged suit. Despite the high levels of risk involved, the sport is growing in popularity, not least because it offers the purest form of flying humans can ever experience, and because it can be seen as the living definition of freedom.
