Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece partners with the Pac-Man

Victorinox Swiss Army watch honors boxing hero Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao by giving him the privilege to become the first Filipino to have a limited edition timepiece named after him by an international brand. Called the Maverick II Chrono "PACMAN" Limited Edition, it is a redesign of the classic series which bears the image of the boxer in strike pose on its dial, as well as a rendition of Pacquiao on the back case. Behind him is the Philippine flag with the words "A tribute to a Filipino boxing legend." The partnership between the legendary timepiece company and equally iconic slugger is perfect and unprecedented. It's a match that can only be seen as a win-win situation; one that will surely lead to a draw if each undergoes the tale of the tape. Pacquiao is the first Filipino and Asian boxer to have won five world titles in five different weight divisions. Wikipedia cited him as the first boxer to win the lineal championship ("the man who beat the man") in four different weight classes. The Ring Magazine rated Manny the number one pound-for-pound boxer in the world and Time Magazine named him one of 2009's most influential people. Recently, Forbes Magazine ranked him 57th among the 100 most powerful celebrities, far above other sports heroes such as Maria Sharapova, Venus Williams and Ana Ivanovic. Victorinox Swiss Army watches, on the other hand, has merited a worldwide reputation for its innovation, functionality and reliability. The brand's distinctive styling, high-performance features, and Swiss-made craftsmanship spans 125 years. Their watches are the only ones in the world that are authorized by the Swiss government to carry the name Swiss Army. Both the boxer and the timepiece brand are known to be able to withstand and triumph over various tests and measures. Before going to battle, Manny subjects himself to rigorous training, each one more difficult than the last. Similarly, every Victorinox Swiss Army watch timepiece undergoes stringent and multiple quality control tests before it is rolled out of the factory. The watches are put through careful visual inspection and go through time test and water resistance test. The PACMAN Edition has the imprimatur of Victorinox Swiss Army watch's mother company in Switzerland . Only 1,000 pieces of the PACMAN Edition will be available in the Philippines , making it truly a collector's item.
Every purchase of a Victorinox Swiss Army Watch PACMAN Edition, from the following outlets:  Lucerne, Chronos, LTimeStudio, Swiss Gear,  and Wristpod, comes with a glove with Pacquiao's printed signature.
