A STURDY CHRONOGRAPHAT
EASE IN EVERY SITUATION

A TRIBUTE TO THE PILOT’ SCHRONOGRAPHS

This chronograph is inspired by the great aviation chronographs of the past which, with their functional design, have helped to define a category, writing an important page in the history of watchmaking and more.

ELEGANCE IN THE DETAILS

Despite our functionalist inspiration, we have not renounced to take care of the subtle, elegant details, such as the careful alternation of brushed and polished surfaces, which give the watch a sense of nonchalant elegance, like a “gentlemen pilot”.

THE MOVEMENT

This watch is operated by a Swiss movement, the Sellita SW510 Top Grade. “Top Grade” indicates that the manufacturer sets the most stringent tolerances and utmost care in production.
This movement arose from the project of the Sellita SW500 “integrated” chronograph movement, based on the famous Valjoux 7750, one of the first automatic chronographs. The design of this movement dates back to 1973. Unlike other automatic chronographs on the market (such as the Zenith El Primero or Breitling), the 7750 was less refined but decisively more robust – a feature that has seen

this movement become an icon. The 510 is an evolution of the SW500, with the main difference being in the arrangement of the registers, evolving from a 12-3-6 layout to the classic 3-6-9.
This chronograph watch bears a “coulisse” escapement, signifying that the timepiece’s functions are driven by levers that push an oblong cam back and forth, alternatively starting, stopping and resetting the chronograph. This system is less elaborate than the socalled “column shaft” but offers great advantages in terms of robustness, simplicity and reliability.

THE QUALITY CONTROLS

A mechanical watch is a fairly complex system, comprised of a multitude of elements, taken to the extreme in terms of dimensions and tolerances. Due to its very nature and despite the level of care, it is nonetheless a fallible system.
In order to minimise the risk of error whilst maximising the possibility of pinpointing and correcting any defects, each watch is subjected to numerous and extensive tests.
Being the most delicate component, the movement is tested by the manufacturer according to the specified standards and tolerances. When the movement reaches our laborator y, it is tested in operation for at least 7 days, effectively a sort of breaking-in to allow all of the components and lubricants to settle.
Subsequently, the movement is “cased”. The watch is completed and closed before the chronograph is assembled then subjected once more to a series of tests, including with a Chronocomparator, a device that “listens” to the movement’s ticking and establishes the functional parameters. Should the watch not fall within the set limits, a technician will adjustment the movement or else replace the entire element.
Each watch is supplied with the results of the Chronocomparator readings.

THE COLLECTION

With a dedication from those who fly to those who fly, each watch combines the needs of pilots with a study in elegance.

Operated by a Swiss movement, forged via the fusion of steel from an F-104 Starfighter turbine.
