To celebrate the successful second season of the Armin Strom Sailing Team, Armin Strom created a limited commemorative edition of its Gravity collection and offered 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. This automatic timepiece, with 5-day power reserve, small seconds and off-centre time indications comes in a stainless steel and black PVD case measuring 43,4 mm in diameter. The micro rotor of the calibre AMR13 is visible from the dial side.
The watch is fitted with a black alligator strap and stainless steel PVD black ardillon buckle. It is delivered with an additional black rubber strap. A double-fold clasp in stainless steel PVD black is available on option.
Currently the Armin Strom Sailing Team is in fourth place in the Great Cup 32 2016, 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.
