To celebrate the exciting and successful second season of the Armin Strom Sailing Team, Armin Strom created a limited commemorative edition of its Gravity collection and gave the team's skipper Flavio Marazzi the first of 32 watches produced for the series. Armin Strom owner Serge Michel presented the special timepiece to Marazzi during a ceremony on July 10 at the Lake Garda competition in Malcesine, Italy.

Striking black and orange colorations on Gravity Sailing's dial and strap match the design of the team's catamaran and its sail. The micro rotor of the automatic timepiece is visible from the dial side.

Currently the Armin Strom Sailing Team is in fourth place in the 2016 GC32 Racing Tour, which is held across Europe. The catamaran reaches speeds of up to 40 knots and appears to soar airborne when at top velocity. Skipper and helmsman Marazzi is Switzerland's most successful sailing competitor, a four-time Olympian, and an Armin Strom ambassador.
