EDOX – N-Pole 42.195 Chronograph Limited Edition
Perfect for the Pole
Running the gruelling North Pole Marathon takes a special type of person. Competitors face the sheer effort, physical and mental, of running 26.2 miles (42.195km) on a course entirely on the ice - plus bone-numbing temperatures.

But this is the type of extreme challenge Australian adventurer Marcus Fillinger and Swiss watchmaker Edox thrive on. For Fillinger, it means pushing his body to the limit in a brutal, unforgiving, environment.

For Edox, it means creating a striking precision timepiece that won’t miss a beat, whatever Mother Nature comes up with. At the North Pole Marathon later this year, Fillinger will wear the new Edox N-Pole 42.195, a watch born to handle the world’s toughest extreme marathon.

“The complete absence of intent by Government to genuinely commit too, or proceed with, a practical and intelligent plan to progress fertility control implementation to free roaming populations of wildlife have motivated me to take a stand and to do what’s right for those with no voice. We appear to have a current culture of scientific deception, closed door politics, and questionable moral agendas. It’s time we stopped being bullied, and embrace ethical ways forward to help our wildlife in their ever decreasing habitats”.

To run a marathon is within itself an achievement, but the training and execution to undertake the world’s toughest extreme marathon with dogs requires years of expedition knowledge, an ability to overcome the most challenging environmental punishment and a mindset to succeed. Running in temperatures that can drop below –61ºc requires a great deal of physical and mental preparation. The dogs too undergo pre-season endurance training to ensure their health and fitness to undertake an endurance event in the worlds toughest climate.

A 20-year veteran of polar expeditions and guiding in the worlds harshest and most unforgiving environments, Marcus is constantly preparing for the next new challenge, and running a marathon in an environment that can see blinding white outs and temperatures drop below -61ºc is a true test of mental and physical endurance.

A military professional for over 30 years, Marcus is well-versed in operating in adverse conditions and under pressure to complete a mission. Preparation for every polar project consists of a strict and punishing regime of strength and endurance training.

Actively completing marathons and endurance runs for training assists in preparation for the North Pole marathon. Much time and dedication is also devoted to strength training, which is required for handling and operating running Arctic dogs in extreme conditions. “The welfare of the dogs is always my first priority, monitoring their feet, hydration as well as regulating pace to cater for the ever changing surface ice conditions”.
The 22 Siberian Huskies Marcus has rescued through his animal rescue organisation are also his training companions in Australia and assist him in his gruelling training regime. In any given week, over 110 kms are run.
