This overland expedition demanded the bare-essentials as Elli and Steve carried all of their gear on their backs, and on sleds. The Vaer Watches they chose balanced in-water function and streamlined form. Both used the highly capable D5 Divers on land, and opted for the lightweight and compact C3 Korean Field watch for under their 5mm thick arctic wetsuits.
