With its aviation-inspired design and adventure-ready build, this timepiece transitions seamlessly from casual outings to more rugged environments.
Important Notes
While the watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, it is not designed for scuba diving or prolonged submersion under high pressure. The bronze case may develop a natural patina with exposure to moisture and air, which is characteristic of the material and adds to its vintage appeal. The calfskin leather strap should be kept dry and conditioned periodically to maintain its appearance and longevity. For specific warranty details, customers are directed to consult the manufacturer’s official policy. The package includes the watch only, as no additional accessories or documentation are specified in the original content.
