Getting lost, late or foxed by the weather – but remaining stylish if you do – are three excuses that can be crossed off the list with a new watch distributed by adventure masters OutdoorGB.com
The new Suunto X-Lander All Black Limited Edition do-anything, go-anywhere watch is available for Autumn 2006 at £229.99 – and going anywhere includes charting your progress on peaks of up to 9,000m or 29,500ft.
“Time, direction, weather changes, altitude – and cool with it. This is one of the most complete adventurer’s watches available, and the limited edition black version looks super-chilled as well,” said Edward Giles of OutdoorGB.com.
“The name may sound like an anagram, but it’s typical of the type of product and brand that we seek out – those in the know will have heard of it or use it, and that should be more than good enough for everybody else.
“The Suunto X-Lander is the ultimate option for those outdoor enthusiasts who need a stylish watch to wear in as well as out of the office. The aluminium casing and the durable mineral crystal glass combined with the neoprene band makes this ideal for those who want their watch to tell more than the time.
“The X-Lander is an accurate altimeter, a complete barometer, a precise electronic compass and a multi-functional sports watch in a one elegant package. And you’ll look good in it, even if it’s only the urban jungle you’re tackling.
“In fact in some cases the compass function will be more than useful for making it to meetings as well as mountain peaks.”
The Suunto X-Lander has a compass accurate to within three degrees, a calendar pre-programmed through to 2089, three alarms, a stopwatch and a countdown timer: useful for making that dramatically well-timed entrance after a big adventure.
“The Suunto X-Lander All Black Limited Edition will be produced only in August and September, so this is a unique chance to get one of the exclusive black versions,” said Edward Giles.
“The housing is deep black anodised aluminium and it comes with the black X-Lander textile strap. Every unit in the series will be marked with its own Limited Edition number, on the back of the case.
“But if you miss out, there’s always the rest of the Suunto range, including the regular edition X-Lander.”
Regular X-Landers start around £155, with the Suunto watch range starting at less than £100.
