For over 100 years, Wenger has been the proud partner of the Swiss Armed Forces, supplying the multi-functional and highly reliable Swiss Army Knife to the troops. Since 1997 WENGER Watch is the privileged partner of the Patrouille des Glaciers (PdG) and the SWISS RAID COMMANDO (SRC). Two international events, organized by the Swiss Armed Forces and which take place alternatively once every two years.
The Wenger Special Commando series, is a tribute to the Swiss Raid Commando and the Patrouille des Glaciers. This generously equipped, 42mm quartz timepiece offers chronograph functions measuring 60 seconds, 30 minutes and 12 hours. The speed tachymeter is naturally also present, as is the date.
The Wenger Special Commando is available in 3 colour executions. Green and orange for the SRC variation and deep glacier blue for the PdG model. Green is the colour of the Swiss infantry and orange is the colour code used for commando task forces who specialize in stealth infiltration and acquisition of intelligence. Both SRC models bear the Swiss Raid Commando logo on the case back.
The deep glacier blue of the PdG model reflects the colour of the ice in the Snow covered Swiss Alps in the evening, as it can be seen by the patrols, who race through the mountains during this grueling event. The PdG model bears the Patrouille des Glaciers logo on the case back.
During special operations, this multi-functional chronograph watch is an essential timekeeping tool, which delivers precise information such as, local time, date, elapsed mission time and thanks to its tachymeter, vehicle velocity. This data is acquired in one quick glance, due to the extra large 38.5 dial opening and the thick Superluminova covered colour markers, numbers and hands for enhanced visibility in the dark. The black PVD coating on the 316L stainless steel case, pushers and crown, provide the anti-reflective, stealth feature required during special operations.
In order to provide maximum wrist comfort, durability and uncompromised resistance to all weather conditions and terrains the watch is fitted with a solid, supple black rubber strap. The Special Commando also features a scratch-proof crystal, PVD coated 316L stainless steel case, 100m water-resistance, as well as an international limited three year warranty.
In Switzerland, the Wenger Special Commando retails at Swiss Francs 480.00.
