The front

There's not much to say about this watch. It's built in the tradition of old pilot's watches, with classic Arabic numerals, the typical triangle at 12 o'clock, the luminous hands, and the large central second hand.


This special edition features an F-18 fighter jet printed on the dial, commemorating our work with the US Navy fighter pilots who fly this aircraft.
 

The case back

You can view the Swiss automatic movement through the sapphire glass case back. For these models, we use the latest movements from the Swiss manufacturer La-Joux-Perret. This movement is a new alternative to the well-known ETA movements, but with the decisive advantage of a 68-hour power reserve. This movement thus has twice the power reserve of its renowned predecessor. We also use a particularly highly finished version of this LPJ movement with rhodium-plating, finely decorated with perlage and blued screws. The movements are finely adjusted in five positions and run very precisely with an accuracy of -2/+8 seconds per day (measured after the watch was cased). These rate values ​​correspond to the chronometer standard.

The Movement

Swiss Made La-Joux-Perret G-101


The LJP G-101 is a very modern Swiss watch movement. Originally built as an alternative to the ETA 2824-2, it is currently conquering the watch market. It is not a simple ETA copy, but a completely independent movement with the advantage of a 68-hour power reserve. This gives it almost twice the power reserve of the ETA movement. Of course, in keeping with our own tradition, we use a particularly beautifully decorated version of the movement.
