Key Features

• Automatic Chronometer Movement: At its core lies a self-winding mechanical movement that has passed the stringent certification standards of the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). This certification guarantees superior precision in timekeeping, ensuring the watch performs reliably under various conditions. The automatic mechanism winds itself through natural wrist movement, offering convenience and a traditional connection to mechanical watchmaking.
• 38 mm Stainless Steel Case: The case diameter of 38 mm represents a thoughtful evolution of the classic Navitimer design, offering a more proportional fit for modern wrists without sacrificing presence. Constructed from durable stainless steel, it provides resilience against daily wear while maintaining a polished, professional finish. This size makes it especially appealing to those who prefer a refined, understated look that doesn’t overpower the wrist.
• Silver Dial with Luminous Markers: The silver dial features applied hour markers and hands coated with luminous material, allowing for clear legibility in low-light environments such as dimly lit cabins or nighttime settings. The dial layout includes a date window and chronograph subdials, enhancing its functional appeal. The high-contrast design ensures quick, accurate time reading at a glance.
• Aviation-Inspired Slide Rule Bezel: A defining characteristic of the Navitimer collection, the bidirectional rotating bezel incorporates a circular slide rule—a practical tool originally developed for pilots to perform essential in-flight calculations. Users can compute fuel consumption, airspeed, climb rates, and other critical metrics, making this feature not just symbolic but genuinely functional for aviation professionals and enthusiasts.
• Water Resistance for Daily Use: While specific water resistance depth is not detailed in the available specifications, the watch is engineered to handle typical daily exposure to moisture, such as handwashing, rain, or accidental splashes. It is not designed for swimming, diving, or prolonged submersion, and care should be taken to avoid exposing it to steam or high-pressure water.
