Edox N-Pole 42.192 Project

Running the gruelling North Pole Marathon takes a special type of person. Competitors face the sheer effort, physical and mental, of running 26.2 miles (42.195km) on a course entirely on the ice - plus bone-numbing temperatures. But this is the type of extreme challenge Australian adventurer Marcus Fillinger and Swiss watchmaker Edox thrive on. For Fillinger, it means pushing his body to the limit in a brutal, unforgiving, environment. For Edox, it means creating a striking precision timepiece that won’t miss a beat, whatever Mother Nature comes up with. At the North Pole Marathon later this year, Fillinger will wear the new Edox N-Pole 42.195, a watch born to handle the world’s toughest extreme marathon. The N-Pole 42.195 (limited to 300 pieces worldwide) has a Swiss-made Edox 102 quartz movement at its heart and rugged exterior, thanks to a 316L stainless steel case and scratch-resistant ceramic diving bezel. Whatever the weather, Fillinger will be able to get an instant, precise indication of his progress with just a glance at the N-Pole 42.195’s superbly clean black-and-red-dial. Water-resistant to 500m, the 45mm N-Pole 42.195 comes in a special presentation box and has a map of the Pole engraved on the case back.
