Surely that takes a whole new breed of runner. Aside the obvious toe crunching 26.2 miles, physical and mental pain, competitors must also brave a course entirely on ice and those ice-cream headache inducing temperatures.
Edox has new kind of ice-man on the team and it isn’t Christian Redl, it’s an Australian, Marcus Fillinger who will be accompanied an Edox SHARKMAN II Ltd. Edition sibling, the N-Pole 42.195 LE named so after the distance (in km) of his upcoming North Pole Marathon.
The N-Pole 42.195 has been made in a Limited Edition with 300 pieces worldwide; it has a Swiss-made Edox 102 quartz movement at its heart and tough exterior, thanks to a 316L Stainless steel case and scratch-resistant ceramic diver’s bezel.
With its crystal clear, black-and-red-dial, the N-Pole 42.195 should allow Marcus to keep track of his progress at a glance.
The 45mm N-Pole 42.195 has a massive screw-down case-back and a water-resistant to 500 meters. The case-back has a map of the North Pole engraved on it.
The watch comes in a special presentation box. It will be on sale from May 2018.
Thoughts? It looks really, there’s a cool story but – I’ll never get excited about a quartz – how bout’ you?
