I like the summertime; its warm, it’s sunny, it means light clothes and swimming, BBQ’s, outdoor activities and usually lots of fun. And, the living is easier when you have a Croton timepiece on your wrist. Whether you’re snorkeling, scuba diving, mountain biking, hiking, playing ball, relaxing or dining out, you can count on Croton for quality, service and the styles that get you noticed. So sit back, relax, and take a look at these..

| Styles To Watch: |
| |
| The Gladiator |
 |
| |
 |
You don’t have to be Maximus or Russell Crowe to wear the Gladiator I. This 44mm solid stainless steel case presents a unique bezel with six open talons thrusting forward onto the Sapphire crystal covered dial, as well as screw head designs at all the hour positions and at each lug end. |
The acrylic dial is textured and tinted (blue, black or yellow), and features a transparent area at the lower half so you can see the movement under the numbers as they journey to their date window at the 3.
|
|
An exhibition back gives you a peek at the Swiss Automatic ETA 2824 with a water resistance of 20ATM (660FT). Our substantial stainless steel bracelet carries forth the screw head theme on its center links and comes to a completion with a double deployant butterfly clasp.
Metal face protectors and tridents welcome!

| |
| |
| Tungsten or Carbon Fibre? |
|
| |
 |
Why choose when you don’t have to. Croton’s newest Tungsten watch for men is another reflective beauty.
The dodecahedral bezel holds a sapphire crystal which reveals a black carbon fibre dial in stark contrast to silver tone hands and stick markers. This Swiss quartz watch houses a Ronda 705 movement and has a date window at the 3 O’clock position, and is water resistant to 5ATM (165FT). The edgy link bracelet with butterfly clasp makes an impressive statement.

|
| Swiss Ostrich? |
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
Our new Swiss automatic for your review is classy and elegant.
The rose tone case surrounds a genuine black carbon fibre dial with luminous hands, applied numbers and markers, and looks great with the exotic black ostrich strap. There is a date window at the 3 position, an exhibition back and water resistance to 10ATM (330FT). Summertime may be easy, but this watch is fine. |

| Light Up Her Night… |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
 |
| ...with our stainless steel and diamond watch. You can start the fireworks before the 4th with this on your wrist. The rectangular case with sapphire crystal showcases a gorgeous genuine mother of pearl dial with four concentric circles of diamonds at the center. |
 |
 |
Applied markers emanate from that point creating a burst of joy. Arabic numerals are set at the 12 and 6 (which also houses the date). Two rows of diamonds line the top and bottom of the case and the seven row panther link bracelet closes with a butterfly clasp. |
|
| This sparkler is available in gold tone with white mother of pearl dial, rose tone with black mother of pearl dial, or stainless with blue mother of pearl dial. It’s like wearing a holiday! |
| |
| | |
| Wildly Exciting… |
|
| |
|
|
 |
That’s our fabulous one inch wide stainless steel bracelet watch with seven rows of diamonds on the case. It’s hard to tell where the case starts as it is integrated into the bracelet. Two rows of diamonds border the curved sapphire crystal which protects three rows of diamonds on the dial.
|
 |
 |
This sophisticated Swiss watch has .50ct of diamonds, and is available in stainless, gold tone or rose tone. |

Water Resistance
|
Because we participate in more water sports this time of year, knowing about water resistance is important. Please refer to the chart below when wearing your Croton.
Water resistance testing of watches is rated in a laboratory by pressure tests done on a watch in a static position. However, many water based activities involve a lot of movement and involve other environmental changes. These varying conditions to how the watch is rated may challenge or defeat the water protection features of a water resistant watch. In particular, the water resistance rating of a watch does not take into account sudden, rapid, and repeated water pressure changes, high water temperatures, and sudden changes of temperature.
Do not wear your watch in the shower or bath as this can affect its water resistance. Steam can penetrate a rubber gasket and cause condensation on the crystal, and rust the movement. Sudden temperature changes can adversely affect the watch, and soap is a fine level abrasive that can harm the timepiece.
If your watch is equipped with a screw down lock crown, make sure it is in the locked position to insure its water resistance.
