If you haven’t already spotted one of these sexy watches on one of your fellow kiters or in the shops; here’s introducing the Limited Edition Fluro Rubber Player. This watch combines action sports with a classic form and even has a bling diamond at six o’ clock. It comes in four colours, which will be launched one colour at a time in a custom molded, high-polish and gloss finish polyurethane.
It’s a fun watch - a reminder of not to take things too seriously!
