The official timepiece for an expedition to the Geographic North Pole will be this exceptional diver in February 2015. The expedition is led by Markus Fillinger and Christian Redl. Markus Fillinger is a world-record holder in free diving and Christian Redl is a champion free diver. The two will trek through the extreme conditions of northern Canada where temperatures can drop to minus 40 Celsius to the North Pole, where merman Redl is set to make the world's first free dive under the polar icecap. One of the most talented freedivers of his generation, Redl, will be wearing the new HydroSub watch as he makes his historic plunge in the frigid water. Edox is his official time partner. Since 2010, the two have shared a similar philosophy and love to take on new challenges.
The vintage model has a twist. Edox Hydro Sub "Master Lock" can dive up to 500 meters (1,650 feet). The watch has a crown protector in orange that will protect the crown against extreme conditions such as those Redl and Fillinger may encounter next year.Replica Watches The crown protector can be moved up and down to reveal and protect the crown.
