New Models Blend Outdoor Utility with Fashionable Appeal
The PRO TREK "PRG-240" series is equipped with Tough Solar for reliable power, a dual-layer LCD with a direction-registering bezel, and triple sensors, offering a range of functions to support fieldwork. This series now welcomes two new models, "PRG-240-3JF" and "PRG-240-5JF," inspired by the earth tones trending in outdoor gear.
The straps feature khaki and sand beige, accented with orange and yellow on two front buttons and the bezel to enhance visibility, creating a finish befitting outdoor equipment.
The dial combines a dual-layer LCD, capable of displaying multiple pieces of information simultaneously, with a direction-registering bezel that uses a rotating mechanism for simplified direction indication, making it more intuitive and practical. The W-LCD, which overlaps the digital display, allows for intuitive understanding of direction with a clear blue compass, supporting various activities.
In addition to compass, barometric pressure/altitude, and temperature measurement functions, it features Tough Solar, which powers the watch even with minimal light from fluorescent lamps, ensuring excellent practicality. Furthermore, the measurement buttons for compass, barometric pressure/altitude, and temperature are independently placed. Large buttons are used, allowing for one-push operation even when wearing gloves.
A button guard, which wraps the outer circumference of the buttons with resin material, prevents accidental operation during measurements. The direction-registering bezel is knurled to enhance its texture and express its functionality as outdoor gear.
These models not only support fieldwork with their practical functions but also feature trending colors that complement a wide range of outdoor fashion.
