MUMBAI: India’s no. 1 off-road racer, CS Santosh has been announced as the brand ambassador of Favre-Leuba, the second oldest luxury Swiss watch brand, for their Raider Sea Sky timepieces.
Santosh is the first Indian in history to compete and finish the Dakar Rally – the world’s toughest off-road motorsport event. He has won several races such as Raid De Himalayas, Desert Storm and India Baja. He was also the winner of P1 Power Boats.
Taking on the new role as Indian brand ambassador for Favre-Leuba, Santosh said: “It is an absolute delight for me to be associated with Favre-Leuba. It is a brand that believes in celebrating its strong heritage and conquering frontiers, from the depths of the oceans to the highest of altitudes. I consider this to be a very exciting collaboration and their belief of breaking new barriers aligns very well with my personal mantra in life.”
Speaking on the collaboration, Vijesh Rajan, Brand head of Favre-Leuba, expressed: “It bring us great joy to announce CS Santosh as our Brand ambassador in India. Santosh has been representing India for more than a decade now as a front runner in the world of motor sport and his limitless imagination to conquer new frontiers reflects perfectly in the DNA of Favre-Leuba. Globally, we’ve associated with Pen Hadow, Adrian Ballinger and Sayuri Kinoshita as Brand Ambassadors. We look forward to conquering new frontiers together with CS Santosh.”
Since 2016, the Favre-Leuba Raider Sea Sky brand has been testing the time piece and its performance across challenging environment as an instrument with genuine functionality beyond telling time. The watch has successfully managed to stand strong through various extreme weather conditions and environmental changes making it an ideal fit for a rugged environment as extreme as off-road racing.
The Raider Sea Sky incorporates a retro futuristic design philosophy, unique to Favre-Leuba. The timepieces are not limited to the design of the past but skillfully transition into the bold look of the future with sharp lines and a formidable size, making it a very contemporary timepiece for today’s explorers.
Bold and spunky, the Raider Sea Sky combines the functionality of a chronograph with the practical benefit of a rotating bezel, which allows the wearer to calculate speed and precise time. A pop of color makes an impact in the water, on land or in the sky, complemented by luminous index marks on the dial.
