Key Features
- Swiss-Made Mechanical Movement: This watch is powered by a fully mechanical movement, assembled and regulated in Switzerland, ensuring accurate timekeeping and long-term durability. Unlike quartz watches, it requires no battery and is wound manually, appealing to collectors and traditionalists who value mechanical precision.
- Aviation-Inspired Blue Dial: The striking blue dial draws direct inspiration from classic Royal Air Force pilot watches of the 1970s, offering high legibility with bold markers and hands. Its vintage aesthetic is preserved with careful attention to period-correct design elements, making it a faithful re-issue for aviation enthusiasts.
- 36mm x 33mm Stainless Steel Case: The compact case size ensures a comfortable fit on most wrists while maintaining a substantial, authentic presence. Crafted from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it balances durability with refined styling suitable for both casual and formal settings.
- 100m Water Resistance: With a water resistance rating of 100 meters (10 ATM), this watch can withstand splashes, rain, and brief submersion, making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling. It is not designed for deep-water diving, but offers reliable protection during everyday water exposure.
- Mineral Crystal Lens: The watch face is protected by scratch-resistant mineral crystal, providing clear visibility and everyday durability. While not as hard as sapphire, it offers excellent impact resistance and maintains clarity over time with proper care.
- Textile Strap: The rugged textile strap adds comfort and breathability, ideal for extended wear. Its durable construction complements the watch’s military heritage and ensures a secure fit during active use.
