Limited Edition of 16 Sets to Commemorate 16 Years
The "Suunto Vector," an icon of Suunto, a manufacturer of measurement instruments that supports athletes across all sports categories, was the first outdoor watch to integrate an altimeter, barometer/thermometer, and electronic compass into a wristwatch. Since its launch in 1998, it has garnered global acclaim and become a long-selling model with over 3.5 million units sold. After a remarkable 16-year run, production will unfortunately cease at the end of December due to difficulties in sourcing internal components.
The "Vector Complete Box" includes all 11 standard models currently listed in the catalog, plus one special edition color previously released in Japan, making a total of 12 watches. The identity of the special edition model included will be a surprise until you receive the box.
The set also features original items such as a custom box that can be used as a display stand when the cover is removed, a message card from Suunto's CEO, and photographs of Suunto's headquarters and factory in Finland.
