Happy 40 Year Anniversary, Adidas!

It has been 40 years since Adidas first released a the Trefoil, the legendary three leafed logo that has become a symbol for quality across all of their products. In 1972, Adidas spawned the idea that all of their products must brim with creativity, originality and of course authenticity…and the Trefoil is the way they showed this. From then on, Adidas watches and the brand as a whole has grown and grown until it has now become a goliath in the world of fashion and sport alike; adorning the tracksuits, football shirts and watches of everyone from Kevin Pietersen to David Beckham. To celebrate this remarkable milestone in the brand’s history, they are releasing a limited-edition watch; a numbered series of only 500 watches and you can get yours right here at Shade Station.

Quality. If you buy a ‘quality’ watch, you expect a certain degree of excellency that can only be seen on the likes of Adidas products. The ADH9040 is a celebration of just how good a watch can be and Adidas have cut no corners! Complete with a polished finish and rotating bezel, the watch features a 50mm case constructed entirely of solid steel and finished with gold-tone plating. The production process is exceptionally unique for a watch like this also. Each dial has the Trefoil logo hydraulically stamped onto it and a plaque with the watch’s exclusive number emblazoned on it. Of course, this is still a practical watch for anyone in any walk of life. The watch is 50 metres water resistant, meaning it can be used in the pool too. Looking at all of this, I think it is safe to say that when you order this watch, you will be receiving a watch superior to others around it,  a watch with style, class and importantly originality.

Even with all of this being said, the cherry on top of the cake is that only 50 of the 500 watches being made are being sold in the UK…and we are guaranteed to have stock of this item! Of course, the limited availability of the ADH9040 does mean that when the stock is gone; its gone, which is why we have made it available for pre-order now. Why not get your own piece of history? A watch that represents style, class and quality. A watch that you can look at and know that when you see the Trefoil, you are joining the ranks of elite sportsmen and women in honouring the values and morals set down by Adidas watches: quality and originality for all.
