Never one to rest on their laurels, GRAHAM is off to a speedy start in 2013 as the Official Timing Partner of the Los Angeles Kings, winners of the 2012 NHL Stanley Cup Championship.
The Los Angeles Kings are back and the 2012-13 season is in full swing with GRAHAM as the Official Timing Partner of the successful American ice hockey team. The Kings headed into the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs in 8th place in the Western Conference, and fought their way to the top, playing their final winning game on their home ice, for their first championship win. To celebrate this sought-after achievement and honor their hard work, GRAHAM has developed a limited edition in the vein of its adrenaline timepieces.
The Chronofighter Oversize LA Kings is highlighted with the LA Kings iconic team colors of silver, black and white. The start and stop lever on the left of the case, a renowned GRAHAM signature, is made of the same plain carbon material as carbon fiber as some NHL hockey sticks. It results from a very specific Swiss-made machining process. This means that the lever is a unique piece of carbon which provides the watch with more stiffness and enhanced usability.
The black ceramic bezel gives the watch its strength and shining personality. The watch is sleek and light to wear. And its performance goes far beyond technological limits. The 2012 Stanley Cup victory is set in stone on the side of the case at 3 o’clock. The “2012” inscription is engraved alongside a white diamond (0.014 cts). The Players’ version of the watch will feature a black diamond.
The GRAHAM LA Kings limited edition will help these modern times sportsmen to move forward through real life conditions and reach ultimate success. Only 100 pieces will be available at selected retailers in Los Angeles from February.
