For Veterans Day, Eone has announced a special release of Apex Element in conjunction with the Navy Special Operations Foundation (NSOF). The pair of limited editions in khaki and navy will sell for $360, $30 of which will go to the NSOF.
If you haven’t seen an Eone before, you might be looking for the hands getting very confused. The Eone is a watch designed for the blind. It has an ingenious ball bearing system instead of conventional hands that allows the wearer to read the time by touch. Eone worked with Bradley Snyder, a US Veteran, and 5 x Paralympic gold medalist, to design the original Eone Bradley and has been an advocate, friend, and spokesperson for the brand. One of the foundations Snyder supports is NSOF, which helps Special Ops vets such as Brad by providing support through their programs: Warrior Care, Youth Programs, Community Presence, and Transition Service.
The Apex’s stainless steel case is 40mm wide, 47.5mm long, and 13.5mm thick and powered by a modified Ronda Quartz. It differs from the original Bradley in its prominent lug design that has tall, fixed lugs. The Apex also features a ceramic dial in Khaki Green or Navy Blue and a Moss Green or Midnight Blue, and a soft-touch nylon and steel strap. Why ceramic? In addition to being tough, and looking cool, it allows for a clearer “tactile contrast” through texture and temperature difference. It is water resistant to 30m.
Anyone purchasing the pieces before November 18th can use the discount code “doublepayback” to receive a $30 USD discount off these timepieces. $30 USD off for the customer, $30 USD to NSOF – Double payback! ⬩
