14 8000m peaks. You may not have any idea how great it is to conquer these peaks, unless you are a mountaineer. Fewer than 40 people in the world have completed this feat, and the only Japanese person to have done so is mountaineer Hirotake Takeuchi.
He has endorsed Nanga, a down maker that takes its brand name from one of the 14 constellations, and PRO TREK, a watch brand. These are trusted and proven brands that are used not only by outdoor enthusiasts but also by professionals.
This tag-team project was made possible by the "one voice" decision of Mr. Hirotake Takeuchi. The result is one of the most powerful, overcoming any adversity.
NANGA x PRO TREK PRW-6630NA ¥66,000
The base of the watch is the PRW-6611 by PROTREK. Their philosophy is locked in the details.
The keyword that both parties hit it off with was sustainable. PRW-6611" is a model that uses biomass plastic. Biomass plastic, which is derived from living organisms, is made from renewable raw materials such as corn. It is an environmentally respectful material that reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
This is used for the case and the soft urethane band. Incidentally, it also comes with an eco-friendly bag made of ripstop nylon.
Large dial and large hands. This is just right for the hard working outdoors. It is equipped with three sensors to detect changes in nature: azimuth, barometric pressure and altitude, and temperature measurement. If you are going to be in the mountains, this triple sensor will help you. It runs on solar power, so you don't have to worry about running out of battery power. The highly accurate LED light, Super Illuminator, provides excellent visibility in the dark.
The design is rugged. The NANGA logo is laid out on the dial and the ring, and the double name logo is engraved on the back of the watch to make it special.
General sales begin Friday, July 8, but if you want to be sure of getting one, make a reservation.
Nanga's directly-managed store,Online StoreCasio, which handles PROTREK, will begin taking reservations on Friday, June 24, and on Friday, July 1, respectively.
Outdoors fans may want to own one in honor of this rare mountaineer.
