Will is currently on the most committed and intimidating adventure of his career so far. Paddling alongside his dear friend Seumas Nairn, he hopes to kayak a route from Punta Arenas to Cape Horn, terminating at Puerto Williams.
This will be his third major expedition through the Patagonian fjords, adding 880km to 1300km which he has previously explored over two previous trips.
Will expects the trip to take take 33 days and has allowed 40 to achieve it, hopefully giving sufficient time to await suitable weather. There are two plans. Plan A – return safe and alive, second plan A – experience the wild coast of Cape Horn.
As Worn By Will
Having worn one of our heritage models the Icon for a number of years, Will now sports the Alpha.
The Alpha is inspired by dive watch designs that started in the 1930s. Since then, there have been many developments, including an Italian naval instrument maker who created a watch with luminous material. This gave a Naval frogman a fighting chance at reading the dial in murky water or during night-time operations.
Our version of the dive watch is shock, sand and saltwater resistant. It has the brightest Tritium illumination available for easy underwater readability and is water resistant to 300 m (1000 ft).
As with all our watches, it is powered by a Swiss movement and made with the finest components.
