Wenger Field Force Braille: We leave no one behind

Whether they are on a mission in the frozen tundra, the hot desert, the humid jungle or in urban terrain, all soldiers follow the same creed: "No one will be left behind".

In this same spirit Wenger Watch has produced the Field Force Braille for the visually impaired.
The Wenger Field Force Braille is, as its name implies, a watch primarily meant for the visually challenged. To use the Braille feature, simply press the pusher under the crown, this releases a spring loaded hinge holding the crystal. The watch face has raised markers to allow reading by touch, and large numbers making time telling effortless. The watch hands are thick and can be handled without fear of being bent. For this reason, there is no seconds hand.

The Wenger Field Force Braille is an attractive and well built watch, reflecting a neo-classic design for a distinctively chic appeal. Projecting an air of balance, this gents watch looks no different from a standard function timepiece. This sort of elegance in design is something that is generally lacking when it comes to products meant for people with disabilities. "Wenger leaves no one behind".

The Wenger Field Force Braille is offered in a color combination, which compliments any wardrobe, white dial with black strap.

Continuing the tradition of quality synonymous with the Wenger Timepiece collection, the Braille watch case is made of 316L stainless steel and is fitted with a Swiss Made quartz movement as well as a scratch-proof crystal. The case measures 40mm in diameter and the lug width is 20mm. As per all of the other models in the Wenger Watch collection, the Field Force Braille is covered by a limited three year warranty.
