Design And Features

The ICE-SAR Arctic watches are built to excel in demanding environments, reflecting a rugged, utilitarian aesthetic. With a prominent case size of 46mm, these watches feature Luminox’s CARBONOX™ material, known for its extreme durability, lightweight properties, and resistance to harsh conditions. Each watch is engineered with a unidirectional rotating bezel for added functionality, while the screw-in caseback and crown ensure water resistance up to 200 metres. Additionally, the collection is powered by precise Swiss quartz movements.

The dial design offers exceptional legibility, with contrasting hands and markers illuminated by Luminox Light Technology (LLT). This proprietary feature guarantees constant visibility for up to 25 years, even in total darkness. The watches also integrate practical tools such as a pulsometer scale, reflecting their focus on utility in rescue operations?.

Current Iterations

The ICE-SAR Arctic collection primarily focuses on the 1050 Series. This series maintains the essential features needed for field performance and extreme resilience, all while embracing contemporary design elements. The XL.1053 and XL.1052 models, for instance, feature a blue dial accented by red details, a pulsometer ring, and a blue rubber strap with a textile top layer for enhanced comfort and grip during intense conditions. This single model in their current lineup represents the essence of the ICE-SAR partnership, blending functionality with bold style.
