Victorinox Swiss Army Maverick Chrono Manny Pacquiao Limited Edition

Unrivaled. Exemplary. Timeless - These are but three of many extolling adjectives that have been used by people from around the world in hailing Filipino boxing champion Manny "Pac-Man"Pacquiao. At 30 years old, the "People's Champ" or the "Pambansang Kamao," as Manny is alternately called by Filipinos, is at the top of his game - and still rising. Manny is the first Filipino and Asian boxer to have won five world titles in five different weight divisions. Champion boxers from Marco Antonio Barrera to Ricky Hatton have all been clobbered inside the ring by Manny, prompting the Ring Magazine to rate the Pinoy slugger as top pound-for-pound boxer in the world. For his sterling achievements, Manny has been named by Time Magazine as one of the world's most influential people of 2009. And now comes another distinction: Manny has been chosen by the Victorinox Swiss Army watch to become the first Filipino to have a limited edition timepiece named after him by an international brand. Marnie Chua, Victorinox Swiss Army watch brand manager in the Philippines, said that Pacquiao was lone luminary when they were thinking of paying tribute to Filipino greats. "We did not even have a list because any name we tried to put beside his, dwarfed in comparison, - he said. "Manny alone can embody the brand's core philosophy of innovation, functionality and reliability." Only 1,000 pieces of the Pac-Man Limited Edition will be available in the market, truly making it a rare "must-have" among collectors and anyone who has been made prouder to be Filipino because of Manny's achievements. The design of the Pac-Man edition is understated class: An image of boxing gloves is engraved on the face of the watch. On the back case is a rendition of Manny's face. Behind it is the Philippine flag with the words "A tribute to a Filipino boxing legend." All the materials used in the Pac-Man edition are the same for that of a luxury watch. From the sapphire crystal, scratch-proof glass face, down to the screw-down crowns and pushers, and high-grade straps and buckles, all in Pac-Man edition are first rate. Like all Victorinox Swiss Army watches, the Pac-Man edition is covered by a three-year limited warranty; more than the average offered by many top-quality brands. Every purchase of a Victorinox Swiss Army watch Pac-man edition comes with a glove with Pacquiao's printed signature. The Victorinox Swiss Army watch executives said that Pacquiao graciously accepted their offer to make him the ambassador of the brand in the Philippines. Then again, even before all of these happened, Pacquiao had already been patronizing Victorinox Swiss Army watches.
