Guangzhou, China, Dec. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The German BARIGO Penta55, as the world's first analog multifunctional watch, has been introduced to the Chinese market by its exclusive Chinese agent OUGEAR since its launch. Leveraging nearly a century of BARIGO’s experience in precision instrument manufacturing, and with its distinctive analog multifunctional design, it meets the dual needs of urban consumers in both business and leisure settings. It has received an enthusiastic response in China’s highly competitive functional outdoor watch market and has become a unique favorite among enthusiasts of business-casual watches.
German BARIGO Penta55 Leads the Trend in Business-Casual Watches
Founded in 1926, German BARIGO (BARIGO) originates from the Black Forest region (Baden-Württemberg) in southwestern Germany, a hub for precision instrument manufacturing. For nearly a century, it has focused on the research, development, and production of nautical and outdoor instruments. Thanks to its minimalist and distinctive Nordic design, precise craftsmanship, and high-quality manual assembly by master technicians, it has continuously won various European industrial design awards. The precision, intricacy, and complexity of BARIGO’s products rival the standards of well-known European automotive brands. It is also considered the “companion at sea” for luxury yachts, ships, professional mariners, and equipment enthusiasts worldwide.
Five Functions of the German BARIGO (BARIGO) Penta55
In 2011, the Penta55 won the “Outdoor Industry Award.” The dial of the Penta watch is marked in German with “physikalischer monitor,” meaning “nature’s monitor,” vividly suggesting that what you wear is a portable precision weather station. The word “Penta” means “five” in English, representing its five functions. The five buttons on the dial are used to adjust five types of data: weather conditions, time, compass, thermometer, and altimeter. These features are more than sufficient for outdoor activities and travel enthusiasts. With a diameter of 50mm and a weight of 125 grams, the Penta is considered oversized among watches, making a bold statement on the wrist. Not only is it highly functional, but it also boasts a unique aesthetic design. The dial comes in three color options: white, brown, and black. The Chinese market version comes standard with a genuine leather strap and is water-resistant up to 50 meters. It is not just a super cool, trend-forward functional watch, but also a genuinely reliable scientific instrument and work gear for field use. Its analog design also complements the formal style required in business settings, while making direction, timing, and weather functions easy to read at a glance.
Currently, the full range of the PENTA 55 watches will be gradually launched in “EURO HUTON” boutique stores across China, offering domestic watch enthusiasts distinctive choices and cross-industry premium products crafted by German BARIGO.

“EURO HUTON” is a retail store brand under OUGEAR. In 2006, OUGEAR created a unique concept store with a differentiated buyer-driven retail model targeting high-end consumers. Unlike chain stores with uniform appearances or fashion-focused buyer shops, “EURO HUTON” curates classic brands and products from over a dozen European countries. Many century-old brands come together here, resembling an unplugged high-end international general store. When you step inside, as its slogan says, you’ll find that “the good stuff is still here.”
Since its establishment, OUGEAR’s retail presence has covered major shopping malls and department stores across China. Meanwhile, the “EURO-HUTON” buyer stores have appeared in over ten tier-one to tier-three or four cities, from Haikou in the south to Changchun in the north, Shanghai in the east, and Xining in the west. The newly redesigned “EURO HUTON” stores in Nanjing Golden Eagle and Guangzhou CITIC Plaza in 2014 show how OUGEAR, through “EURO HUTON” and its partners, continues to bring surprises and market highlights to consumers, striving to become China’s one-of-a-kind men’s premium brand company.
