 The drive to overcome one?s physical, mental and spiritual limits is an internal attitude that transcends global borders.  No Limits^? is a way of life and force of empowerment within us all.  When adopted it tests our personal boundaries and opens the door to new levels of achievement in all aspects of life. 

 The promotion of No Limits^? is Sector Sport Watches? mission ? the driving force behind every company endeavor.  As part of the No Limits^? concept, Sector sponsors a team of extreme athletes and has created a line of high-performance athletic gear, a magazine, television program and network of extreme sports centers around the world.  For Sector Sport Watches, No Limits^? is more than a modern marketing concept, it is a way of life.

 Since 1989, Sector has committed resources to fully supporting the endeavors of athletes from a variety of extreme disciplines in sport ? thus creating The Sector No Limits^? Team.  The international group of more than 20 men and women is comprised of athletes who continue to redefine the limits of human potential.  No Limits^?
