UK. In time for Wimbledon fever, inflight supplier Scorpio Distributors has introduced a range of tennis-themed watch models from French sportswear brand Lacoste.
The range, revealed at the TFWA Asia Pacific exhibition in Singapore last month, carries details inspired by the game, such as the tennis ball groove and shape replicated in the stainless steel bezel.
“The ladies’ models come with leather straps available in summery, feminine colours,” said Managing Director Stuart McGuire. “The duty free retail price for the watches is US$99.”
He added: “The 1300 Series watches included in the range feature silicon PU strap bracelets which looks similar to the string on a tennis racket. They also feature three hands that can be set to two time zones using one dial.”
Lacoste is one of Scorpio Distributors’ key brands, selling on more than 50 airlines. Currently, the company’s best-selling Lacoste model is the 6200 Series which features leather popper straps with suede effect.
Scorpio Distributors’ portfolio of watch brands covers Police, Fila and Time Design. It also supplies jewellery brands such as Pierre Cardin, Nina Ricci and Beverly Hills Polo Club, and eyewear brands by Police, Reebok and Beverly Hills Polo Club.
