    Camel Active Chrono Alarm

    I meant to post this last week but both watches I ordered didn't arrive at that time.
    My Alpha is still held in Customs and the next watch took 1 1/2 weeks from Germany to Portugal, where I live (thanks DHL).
    Enough complaints, here goes:

    the brushed copper is a cool look.

    Is that Camel cigarette merchandise, or a different company entirely?

    It would be kind of ironic if it was a line of sports gear licensed by a cigarette company

    Thanks, it has a different look but still a sporty/dressy watch.
    In the 70's there was a group of german guys who travelled by 4x4 in the most remote locations in the world. They used Land Rover vehicles and where sponsored by Camel cigarrettes: it was the Camel Trophy. Later, the cigarrettes left but the name remained and was later changed to Camel Active. It is a brand of clothing, general sportswear...
