The ‘ultimate boy toy’: the Aviator Smart Watch aims to provide a stylish solution to the smart watch offer

Scorpio Worldwide Chairman Stuart McGuire said: “We have been watching the rise of smart watch technology for a number of years with a lot of interest. It has become a huge part of the domestic watch market, and it won’t be long until a large percentage of the watches sold in travel retail will have some form of smart technology.

“Being the leading inflight distributor in travel retail, we were determined to be the first to launch smart watch technology into the channel, and partnering with one of the most successful inflight watch brands of all time makes it sure to be popular with both our customers and their passengers.”

Into the deep: new Aviator Special Ops Professional Diver Watch

McGuire added: “One of the main issues we see with current smart watches offered on the market is the lack of styling, and the fact that most of them don’t look like normal watches. We have addressed both of these issues and combined classic Aviator styling with smart watch features.”

Scorpio has also launched the new Aviator Special Ops Professional Diver Watch. The watch, said to be water-resistant to 200 metres, is constructed with a solid stainless steel 44mm case and features a uni-directional rotating bezel and screw down crown. The watch also comes with a blue textured dial with calendar and luminous hands and indices.

McGuire commented: “The new diving watch is a great addition to the Aviator portfolio. You don’t need to be a diving fan to enjoy the benefits of the watch; its stylish look and design gives it a broad appeal.”
