Commando Swiss Mountain Commando (SMC) is a training contest held in Switzerland for professional special armed forces commandos from the whole world. The combat search-and-rescue training program demands top performance from parachutists and search-and-rescue personnel. C-130 Hercules transport aircraft and helicopters were deployed during the last military exercise of this type. The experience gained during the last training contest was used in the development of the new SMC special watch.
The chronograph with an Swiss ETA mechanism with date display is equipped with a black PVD coated stainless steel case and a curved hard-mineral crystal. The watch is water-resistant to 100m and has a multiply adjustable nylon strap. This enables the watch to be worn over protective clothing, making it a valuable instrument for extreme operations in high mountains. The large, open dial with illuminated hands and markers, together with the special crystal's slight magnifying effect, make it easier to read the time even under the most difficult conditions. To mark this special watch, the colorful "Swiss Mountain Commando" logo is set into the base.
