With aviation inspiration on board, three new timepieces from Victorinox Swiss Army command authority. Awakening the inner pilot in the wearer, they bring topnotch functionality, day and night.

Modern, sandblasted PVD in dark matt, making a collection debut, is the trio’s fil rouge. This marks a double family first by combining a metal case with a bracelet in exactly the same material and finish. A three-hand model and two chronographs make up the series. Their common language is clarity. The first wristwatches for pilots in the early twentieth century had to fulfill their functions at all times, in all weathers and even when operated by a gloved hand.

Reliability and readability shape the design of today’s Airboss Mechanical Black Editions via touches ranging from a Victorinox red second hand and printed military time under the glass, to luminescent hands and numerals for nightime performance. Functionality is easily and quickly accessed via strategically placed buttons and pushers.

RADO – HyperChrome Match Point Edition


















RADO HyperChrome Match Point Plasma Ceramic/Steel Chronograph 45 Limited Edition NEW

Introducing the new Rado HyperChrome Match Point
A gents’ tennis-inspired timepiece for all occasions

(Lengnau, Switzerland - December 2016) Rado can look back on a long tradition in the tennis world. The Swiss watch brand Rado has a long legacy in the tennis world, and the new Rado HyperChrome Match Point further proves the brand’s dedication to the sport. Limited to just 999 pieces, this new tennis-inspired timepiece is ready to adorn your wrist both on and off court.

The new model features the same stylish shape and athletic spirit of the original HyperChrome Match Point, but with an updated colour scheme and details. The blue dial is home to three subdials: a second counter, a chronograph minute counter, and a chronograph hour counter. In a nod to the points of the game, the second counter is marked at 00, 15 and 40, and the chronograph minute counter at 30. A net-like design on the chronograph hour counter adds an extra tennis-themed touch design of the hour counter.

The Match Point looks even sportier thanks to the tachymeter scale engraved around its polished bezel. Using the tachymeter and the red-tipped hand, you can calculate your speed based on travel time or your distance based on speed.

The sophistication of the timepiece is further enhanced by the unique warm metallic shine of its plasma high-tech ceramic construction. The monobloc case and bracelet are matt, with the high gloss middle links providing an eye-catching contrast. Just like other Rado high-tech ceramic timepieces, the HyperChrome Match Point is lightweight, scratch resistant, and hypoallergenic – ensuring that you can lift your trophy in comfort and style.

Due to the tachymeter scale engraved around the polished bezel, the Match Point also has a sporting feel. Using the tachymeter and red-tip pointer, you can optionally measure your speed based on the runtime or the distance traveled based on the speed.

The elegant look of the timepiece is achieved by the unique warm metallic luster of its construction of plasma high-tech ceramics. The Monobloc case and the bracelet are matt and thus form a striking contrast with the high-gloss polished mid-links of the band.

Sporty shine

With the new HyperChrome Match Point, Rado's characteristic material - the plasma high-tech ceramics - is once again brought into the limelight. To achieve the unique metallic look of the material, finished white ceramic components are placed in a plasma oven. Thereupon, gases activated at 20,000°C. dissolve a reaction which gives the piece a unique metallic luster.

The resultant unique plasma tone looks like metal without containing any metal. All the advantages of high-tech ceramics are also maintained. Just like all other Rado timepieces made of high-tech ceramics, the HyperChrome Match Point is extremely light, scratch-resistant and hypoallergenic - perfect to stretch a trophy with style and style.
