Buford, GA, April 18, 2007 – Gill’s new Regatta Master Watch is a boater’s dream timepiece, designed with an extensive line of features especially for boaters and sailors, but valuable for travelers as well. Lightweight and waterproof, this durable watch will keep time through heavy splashes of spray and will even survive a good dunking to 100 feet. The Regatta Master Watch displays the time in a large, easy-to-read, digital font format, with accuracy that stands up to the demands of competitive sailing and racing. Built into the watch are: a countdown feature (with multiple custom settings) for use prior to race starts; a count up timer, a digital compass, a calendar and an alarm. Changing the battery is as easy as using a coin to remove the back cover to insert a fresh new battery. Once re-sealed, the watch is totally waterproof, removing the need to ever send the watch out for repairs. For world travelers, the watch’s international dual-time feature can display consecutively two different world zone times. Plus, the watch’s powerful electro-luminescent backlight makes it easy to see the time at night. With a long-lasting, rubber-molded strap, the Regatta Master Watch has the distinctive look of a rugged, yet stylish sport watch that is destined to become a favorite among sailors and boaters alike. The Regatta Master Watch offers affordable value, retailing in the U.S. for $140.00 and in Canada, for $199.00 Gill Launches New All-Weather Luggage Line To compliment its renowned line of high-performance marine apparel, Gill has developed three highly durable pieces of all-weather “luggage with a difference” for life on the move. Gill’s alternatives to the traditional drybag are: the Waterproof Duffle Bag, the Navigator Bag and the Wet & Dry Cylinder Bag. All these pieces of luggage are constructed from waterproof fabric with welded seams and waterproof zippers, ensuring that packed items remain dry, even in very rainy, wet weather. “Our Gill All-Weather Luggage Line is designed from material that’s not only waterproof, but resistant to punctures and able to withstand the rigors of travel, whether you are taking them to the office or around the globe,” said David Pritchard, Gill North America’s president. “Even if happen to accidentally drop one of these pieces overboard, you’ll find that when you retrieve it, that your items inside are still nice and dry.”
The Gill All-Weather Luggage Line is comprised of:
L050-Waterproof Duffle Bag -- Large capacity duffle with watertight roll-top closure that opens along the entire length of the bag for quick, easy access, and for carrying clothing. Plus, a water-resistant pocket on the outside will keep passports and papers dry. A padded shoulder strap, large grab handle and compression straps round out a duffle bag great for weekend escapes or longer travels.
