WHAT WE LOVE:

This is one of the watches made by French watch manufacturer Yema to commemorate one of the most foolhardy adventures that men have gone on in the last 40 years. In 1990, 6 men from 6 nations set off for the first and only non mechanised crossing of the icy continent.

The New York times published following the crossing, "The trip took seven months; the team endured temperatures that dipped to 113 degrees below zero and one storm that lasted 50 days. No one had ever tried a polar crossing of such length; it is unlikely anyone ever will again."

The French member of the expedition wore one of these watches as they made the crossing, which hopefully demonstrates that the watch is pretty tough.
