Suunto (Germany) – Suunto Spartan Ultra watches have been awarded the iF Design Award 2017. The recognition for Spartan Ultra came in the Product discipline, in the Watches and Jewelry category.

Each year, Germany’s oldest independent design organization, Hannover-based iF International Forum Design GmbH, organizes the iF Design Award. Suunto Spartan Ultra won over the 58-member jury, made up of independent experts from all over the world, with its robust and elegant design. The competition was intense: over 5,500 entries were submitted from 59 countries in hopes of receiving the seal of quality.

The iF Design Award is one of the world’s leading design awards and an important recognition of Suunto’s heritage in designing products that combine aesthetics and functionality into a beautiful ensemble. Suunto products and services have won the iF Design Award six times over the years. In 2016 this recognition went to Suunto Kailash watches.
