EDOX ANNOUNCES SPONSORSHIP WITH OUTSTANDING MEXICAN OLYMPIC ATHLETES
Mexico City, May 9, 2024 – EDOX, the prestigious Swiss fine watch brand, officially announced its partnership with four outstanding Mexican athletes who will attend the World Games in Paris under the banner “The Water Champion.” The event took place on May 6 at the wellness space of El Palacio de Hierro Santa Fe, where divers Randal Willars, Kevin Berlín, and Jahir Ocampo, as well as Samantha Rodríguez from the Mexican synchronized swimming team, were introduced as part of the “The Water Champion” family.
Nestor Hernández, Director of EDOX in Mexico, opened the event with the brand’s history and the Delfin collection, which marked a turning point in the industry when it was released in 1961. The Delfin watch not only stood out for its exquisite design but also for its innovative techniques. EDOX earned the title of ‘The Water Champion’ in Swiss watchmaking by incorporating double O-ring seals for crowns and pushers, as well as a special case back designed to absorb impacts and ensure water resistance of up to 500 meters.
“Just like our watches, Olympic athletes require exceptional precision in every movement, whether in diving, where each jump is a challenge of precision and grace, or in synchronized swimming, where timing and elegance are paramount,” expressed Nestor Hernández.
Thus, this exciting sponsorship reinforces EDOX’s commitment to excellence, performance, and precision, while reaffirming unwavering support for the world of sports and, specifically, for the athletes who will represent Mexico in the upcoming Paris 2024 Games. For EDOX, accompanying the “The Water Champion” family represents an exciting and significant moment towards sporting greatness in the upcoming Olympic events.
“It is a privilege to have the presence of athletes of the caliber of Samantha Rodriguez, Randal Willars, Kevin Berlín, and Jahir Ocampo, and our master of ceremonies Carolina Mendoza, whose achievements and dedication have inspired so many. Their presence here today is a testament to their hard work, sacrifice, and passion for sports, and we are honored to have them as ambassadors of the EDOX brand,” emphasized Nestor Hernández during the event introduction.
The evening concluded with the symbolic presentation of the new pieces from the Delfin collection. Each of the athletes received a watch that will accompany them in the sporting challenge they will soon face. Subsequently, there was a networking space where attendees had the opportunity to interact with the athletes who will represent Mexico in the Paris games. The EDOX team is fully confident that the “The Water Champion” family will carry the spirit of our country and will fill us with pride in every competition.
