On September 10, the Swiss watch brandEDOXpresented a watch from the Class-1 series to the one who from now on and for the next three years (until the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro) will be its ambassador: the professional swimmer Mireia Belmonte, who not only enjoys an exceptional track record but has become an icon of world swimming: to the many championships achieved during her short career she has recently added three golds (200 butterfly, 400 and 800 freestyle) and a silver (400 styles) from the Doha world championships, and 4 more medals: two golds (800 m and 400 m freestyle), a silver (400 m styles) and a bronze (200 butterfly) in Dubai.
The award ceremony took place at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Barcelona, with the presence of numerous media outlets and starring - in addition to Mireia Belmonte herself - Alexandre Strambini, president and
general director ofEDOX, and Bartolomé Rojas, distributor of the brand for Spain. The Class-1 line is one of the different sports collections offered by the Swiss brand, and is characterized by exclusive designs that offer excellent performance in aquatic environments. Belmonte's profile fits perfectly with the brand's messageEDOX, whose sloganTiming for championsIt sums up his entire philosophy. It so happens that Strombini himself was an elite athlete in his time (number 2 tennis player in Switzerland and 200 in the ATP), so he is perfectly aware of the values that Mireia brings.
