MIDDLEBURY, CT– Twelve internationally recognized icons from the nautical flag alphabet are etched into the top ring of Nautica Watches newest timepiece, the NCS 801. The tastefully engraved flag images spell out “Nautica Sport” signaling the brand’s strong connection to the sea and adventure.
The NCS 801’s classic design is a perfect balance of style and sport. Featuring Japanese chronograph movement in a 46mm stainless steel case, this striking watch is functional and fashionable with 60-minute chronograph and 24-hour indicators, plus a small date window between the 4 and 5 o’clock marks.
Attractive croco-pattern leather straps take this timepiece to another level of style. The NCS 801 is available in four variations: a black dial with a black strap, a mink dial with a brown strap, a black dial with rose gold highlights and a brown strap, and a blue dial with rose gold highlights and a blue strap.
The NCS 801 is a statement-making timepiece that pays tribute to the sailing lifestyle. It captures the clean design and attention-to-detail that are core attributes of Nautica watches. Add the signature J-class logo on the top of the crown, luminous hands and markers and water resistance up to 100M, and the NCS 801 finishes with style.
“We are pleased to introduce this beautiful addition to our flag category of watches,” says Linda Calvert, VP Global Brand Management. “The sporty flags have been dressed up in the NCS 801, taking “Nautica Sport” to a new level.”
