Abingdon premieres new watch

By Janice Wood · November 18, 2010 ·

The Abingdon Co. has introduced its newest model of women’s pilot watches, Elise, from the Lady Abingdon Collection.

Three time zones combined into one face, the Elise makes life easy when you are traveling abroad. The first time zone is a 24 hour Greenwich Mean Time so you know what time your flight leaves. The second time zone is a 12 hour home time so you know what time to call home or your boss at work. And the third time zone, found on a bi-directional rotating bezel, is a 12 hour local destination time zone wherever you are in the world. Easy as that.

The Elise is offered in three styles with a choice of 24K Egyptian Gold, 24K Tahitian Two-Tone, or Athenian Silver. The featured Rhonda movement is proven in the watch industry as a reliable and trustworthy movement for ease of use and durability. The sapphire hardened crystal allows its users to be rough with their Elise. The Elise also includes super-luminous hands, a date box, and a hint of genuine mother of pearl on the dial. The Elise is the smallest of any of the watches The Abingdon Co. offers. Prices range from $329 to $399. The Abingdon Co. specializes in aviation watches.
