| Press release, April 2003 New products from Wenger Watch SA Just in time for the 2003 World Watch and Jewellery Show in Basel, the Biel-based watch company Wenger Watch SA is launching a number of interesting new products. For over a century the Wenger brand, one of the two manufacturers of the famous Swiss Army knife, has set the same high standards in both quality and design, manufacturing highly functional, reliable products that offer the Swiss quality guarantee and excellent value for money. Like the Swiss Army knives, all Wenger watches are designed and manufactured to give consumers many years of pleasure and use. So it goes without saying that the new models follow in the same vein. Wenger Signature The Wenger Signature, the flagship of the Wenger brand, is a sporty watch for both men and women that comes either with or without a chronograph function. The watch combines sporty functionality with elegant design. The stainless-steel quartz watch features sapphire glass and a date display and is waterproof to 100 m. The striking feature of this particular watch is that the traditional Wenger logo - a Swiss cross on a red background with rounded corners - appears three times, namely on the dial, on the crown and on the metal bracelet. The chronograph also has an easy-to-read tachymeter scale on the bezel. The watch is available either with a specially designed - and therefore water-resistant - leather strap or with a solid steel bracelet and comes with either a white, dark blue or black dial. The watch will be available worldwide from May. Prices for the three-hand version start at CHF 370.00 and for the chronograph model at CHF 499.00. Wenger Airwolf Another new product is the Wenger Airwolf. This sporty, aviator design watch has a large face opening which makes it easy to take in at a glance. Its prominent, brightly luminous hands and indexes make it easy to see the time even in poor light. It is available as a chronograph with a tachymeter or as a gentleman's model with a 24-hour display. The chronograph features an easy-to-read tachymeter and the 24-hour display and second time zone mean that the watch can display the time at both the point of departure and the destination. The stainless-steel case of this quartz watch is fitted with mineral crystal, and the timepiece is available either with a fine, real leather armband or with a solid steel bracelet, and comes with a black face, polished bezel and an exquisitely brushed, matt stainless-steel case. All this makes the watch both elegant and yet sporty and robust. This model will also be available worldwide from May onwards. In Switzerland the price of the man's model will start at CHF 250.00 and the chronograph at of CHF 398.00.
