‘Watches galore’ for Scorpio Worldwide


New brands and new collections strengthen company’s position as inflight’s leading supplier of watches

Watches have always been one of the main focuses for travel retail distributor Scorpio Worldwide, and this continues at TFWA World Exhibition (Mediterranean Village, P08), where it will be showcasing its portfolio of exciting time pieces.




A main focus for Scorpio will be the extension of its hugely successful Aviator F Series to include a Vintage Collection that pays homage to 1940s and 1950s pilot watch styles. Stunningly designed, the collection is packaged in a dark green box, which replicates the colour of B52 Flying Fortress aircraft. The 44mm case and high quality leather strap give this watch a modern on trend look, yet the intricate details of the dials and numerals keeps traditional Aviator fans happy.
Chairman, Stuart McGuire comments, “Aviator has stood out as our biggest selling brand for the last five years, offering exceptional quality and value. In order to maintain and grow the brand’s popularity we have regularly updated and extended the range over this time to ensure that we continue to provide our customers with on-trend, fashionable watches. This latest collection takes the brand to a new level of sophistication.”
The Aviator range also sees the extension of its familiar styles, with the development of four new watches – 2 for men and 2 for women. Introducing mesh bracelets for the men’s range, with a quality steel bracelets that do not require post purchase size adjustment and interchangeable straps for women, the four watches offer new dial colours detailing, which give the Aviator range a broader demographic appeal.
Following on from its successful launch at TFWA Asia Pacific, Scorpio Worldwide will be continuing to push its Yamaha Factory Racing VR/46 Collection by TW Steel watches at Cannes this year. With listing already confirmed with many high profile airlines, the limited edition collection that is exclusive to inflight brings quality and style, but with an accessible price.
Also new from TW Steel is a selection of their world famous Canteen watches.  This global lifestyle brand is well known for being “Big in Oversize Watches” and Scorpio has a selection of 45mm gentlemen’s watches, some of which are exclusive to Travel Retail.  Defined by the signature hook/crown cap and two steel dots on the leather strap, these watches are instantly recognisable.
Scorpio Worldwide is also thrilled to announce the launch of a range of inflight exclusive watches by Daisy Dixon. With 16 styles, including 2 with interchangeable straps, the range offers unique individual floral designs, double wrap straps and coloured dials. Originally a pure online brand, Daisy Dixon has built up a large following, becoming well-known for its supermodel named watches. With packaging that has been designed specifically for inflight, the fashionable watches are partnered with either a matching half bangle, or two changeable straps. With a retail pricing from £55 the Daisy Dixon range offers high fashion for low cost, making it an ideal gift item for a trend loving traveller.
Bringing back the highly fashionable Superdry brand to inflight, Scorpio Worldwide is also showcasing a new range of urban watches. With four silicon and two multifunctional styles and two silicone Nato strap models to choose from, the watches are ideal for urban, young travellers. With a retail prices from £25-£55, they offer a great value price point for such a pure fashion brand.
“The introduction of the new brands like Daisy Dixon and Superdry to our portfolio reflects our ambition to offer customers a one-stop shop for watches, allowing them to select from a variety of brands and price points to cover multiple demographics and passenger needs,” continues McGuire.
Seven new models also join the popular Karen Millen range. With new pastel tones and different colour plating, the new watches offer customers on-trend colours and a choice of beautiful designs.

Scorpio is also pleased to announce the introduction of its own range of watches; Chocks Away and Lady Luck. These feminine watches are inspired by the Vargas ‘pin-up’ girl artwork from the 1940s, and are available in a range of colours.
