It took decades to perfect the F-117 Stealth Fighter. It took centuries to perfect the tourbillon. Astronic Watches has brought these two gravity defying legends together in one luxurious timepiece - the Nighthawk Tourbillion - handcrafted for all who appreciate engineering marvels. Astronic developed its custom in-house 3D co-axial flying tourbillon to defy gravity just like the Stealth Fighter did in 1983. Tapping onto the team's cumulative 20 years of experience in the Swiss watchmaking industry, Astronic matched the power of the Stealth Fighter’s silent engine with their very own 21,600 vibrations per hour movement. Some of the most high end tourbillons have around 40 intricate pieces. Astronic has pushed the limits of the craft by developing a more sophisticated tourbillon with more than 76 pieces weighing less than half a gram — on average, each precisely hand-finished piece weighs less than a tiny grain of sand! Each case is precision milled one piece at a time from military-grade 316L stainless steel. The precise, streamlined edges of the case of the Nighthawk mimic the Stealth Fighter’s aggressive silhouette. Swiss Tritec RC lume on the hands light up in the dark so you can still read time off your Nighthawk in low light conditions. Technical Specifications Case size: 44.5mm Case material: 316L stainless steel with camo PVD Case back: Sapphire crystal Movement type: Manual Movement no.: In-house co-axial flying tourbillon based on Peacock SL-5003D tourbillon movement Power reserve: Approx 42hrs Dial: Multi-layer 3D engraved, half skeletonised black dial with design cues from the F-117 Nighthawk's dashboard, exhaust system and iconic wings; Tritec Swiss lume coated hands Glass: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 10ATM Strap type: Bracelet Strap material: Stainless steel bracelet with camo PVD Buckle: Stainless steel deployant buckle with camo PVD Warranty: 1 year
