  • Aviator Douglas DC-3 Black RG Aviator Douglas DC-3 Black RG

    Aviator Douglas DC-3 Black RG

    Revolutionizing travel, the Douglas DC-3 transported passengers with First Class style and became instrumental during the Golden Age of aviation. By blending the sophistication of luxurious travel with minimalist Art Deco design, the Aviator Douglas DC-3 timepiece honors the greatest airplane of its time. In the 1930s, craftsmanship was considered an art form. Minimalistic design fused curved lines and streamlined shapes that were often set into highly polished metals. Design was equal part form and function in the Art Deco era. And the Aviator Douglas DC-3 was no different. Made with premium materials, its sophisticated styling became the blueprint for designing the Douglas model. Drawing inspiration from this legendary aircraft, Aviator incorporated a classic Art Deco design for a genuinely vintage look and feel – one that transports you to a time when innovation and design were exquisitely premium. Designed with intense sunray finishing coupled with a recessed ring and fine concentric circles, its sophisticated Art Deco style is undeniably timeless. Since visibility and readability are key attributes, the Douglas collection unites design and function – from luminescent indicators on every hour along to a clean minimalistic design. The case is comprised of three symmetrical parts: bezel, body case, back case. Hand-finished with fine watchmaking techniques, its rounded curves are inspired by the graceful sophistication of the Douglas aircraft’s fuselage. Its stunning, mirror-polished surfaces are streamlined by ergonomically sleek lines. And its curved lugs exemplify an elegance from yesteryears, while ensuring a proper fit perfect on any wrist. Like all Aviator cases, it requires more than 40 operations to keep up with rigorous itineraries. Crafted from the most premium materials, every Aviator strap is individually developed to share the spirit of the collection. The luxurious, alligator-style leather strap of this timepiece has undergone an extensive tanning process to enhance suppleness and pairs an elegant contrast stitching for added sophistication. It features an easy locking system of the deployment buckle that fastens the strap with one click. To adjust, simply move the buckle forward or backward on the strap. Incorporating the Douglas DC-3 cockpit rudder instrument in its design, the case back emulates the functionality that calculates rudder angles and controls the position of the nose and back of the aircraft. This feature is covered in crystal to protect against scratches and shocks, in addition to providing a comfortable fit on the wrist. Acute details reflecting aviation heritage and fine watchmaking techniques such as these details are inherent in every Aviator Douglas watch. Technical Specifications Case size: 45mm Case material: Rose gold PVD coated polished 316L stainless steel with fibre carbon Case back: Open caseback Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: Sellita SW200-2 Power reserve: Approx 38hrs Dial: Black with applied metal numbers and indices filled with SuperLuminova Glass: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 10ATM Strap type: Leather Strap material: Black calf Buckle: Stainless steel deployant buckle Warranty: 2 years

  • Sale -15% Astronic Watches Nighthawk Tourbillon Camo Astronic Watches Nighthawk Tourbillon Camo

    Astronic Watches Nighthawk Tourbillon Camo

    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

  • Horizon Watches -N- Cardinal Red Black Bronze

    Horizon Watches -N- Cardinal Red Black Bronze

    The -N- is Horizon Watches' first collection. The series of dive watches is inspired by Captain Nemo’s submarine vessel, the Nautilus, in Jules Verne’s classic: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Fred Bekher, co-founder and designer of Horizon Watches, will always remember how as a child while he pored over Verne's work, he would imagine how the Nautilus looked like. These memories, aided greatly by Vernes' very eloquent description of the submersible, served as a basis for Bekher's design. The 42mm case of the -N- comprises of two parts with side bevels that go from the bottom part of the case body to the crown guards. Crafted in either 316L stainless steel or CuSn8 marine bronze, the Nautilus’ case features different surface finishings to achieve contrast between polished and brushed surfaces. The Horizon Watches -N- comes with two different dial designs. Dials for the stainless steel models have a textured centre while those for the bronze models have a patterned centre. A Victorian-style minute railway design marks the passing of the minute hand. Hour markers are in the form of circle indices with indices at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock shaped differently as inspired by nature, namely the nautilus, which is widely considered a symbol of beauty and perfection. Indices and hands are coated with SuperLuminova for maximum legibility in low-light conditions. The date has been cleverly built into the design as one of the hour markers with the date wheel coated in SuperLuminova so that the date window glows in the dark. Powering the -N- is the TMI NH35A calibre, which is known and proven to be a reliable workhorse movement. The caseback of the -N- features a specially designed illustration that is etched and encased in sapphire crystal to create an illusion. Your eyes are first attracted by the apparent depths of the artwork. Then, your fingers will be drawn to explore these fathoms below only to make contact with the clean flat surface of the sapphire glass. The bezel of the watch features a coin-edged style design and includes a dome- shaped insert made from black PVD coated stainless steel. The -N- comes with a similarly coin-edged, screwdown crown giving the watch a water resistance of 30ATM. Completing the watch is a rubber strap with quick release spring bars and featuring the same print that you find in centre of the bronze model’s dial. Horizon Watches’ -N- comes in four dial colours: Aegean Blue, Salmon Sand, Myrtle Green and Cardinal Red. Technical Specifications Case size: 42mm (excluding crown) Case material: CuSn8 marine bronze Case back: Stainless steel with etched illustration, ‘In search of treasure’; encased by sapphire crystal; the inside of the caseback has a perlage finishing and an engraving of the -N-'s’ motto, Mobilis in Mobili (meaning moving within a moving element) Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: Seiko NH35A Power reserve: Approx 40hrs Dial: Patterned centred dial in Cardinal Red; dot indices filled with SuperLuminova; date window at 4 o’clock with date wheel painted in beige SuperLuminova; model name logo appears as stylised N at 6 o’clock position below which you will find the Nautilus’ motto, Mobilis in Mobili Bezel: Unidirectional, 120-click coin-edged style design bezel with a dome-shaped insert made from black PVD coated stainless steel Glass: Flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating applied on the interior side Water resistance: 30ATM Strap type: Rubber Strap material: Vulcanised rubber with patterned print on the skin facing-side Buckle: CuSn8 marine bronze tang buckle Warranty: 1 year

  • Horizon Watches Pilgrim Young Captain's Edition

    Horizon Watches Pilgrim Young Captain's Edition

    Horizon Watches' Pilgrim is a Super Compressor-style dive watch that continues the Jules Verne story that has been the inspiration for the brand's designs. First published in 1878, Un Capitaine de Quinze Ans (A Captain at Fifteen) is an adventure that follows the voyages of Pilgrim, a whaler, across the Pacific. The protagonist is a fifteen year-old crew who is tasked to be the captain of the ship when disaster strikes. Imagine being fifteen and the fate of the ship you are on is handed over to you. In Jules Verne’s universe, that is a recipe for an action-packed adventure. As the story unfolds, one can find common life themes such as bravery, sufferings and fights for freedom. The story that inspires Horizon Watches’ Pilgrim pans out mostly on water. Thus, a diver was deemed most apt for the collection. This time, a Super-Compressor style diver was chosen to be the starting point for the design. Three principles set by Fred Bekher, co-founder and designer of Horizon Watches, guide the design process, namely: a two-part main case; detailings; and functionality. The main body of the case combines two separate elements that have different surface finishes to achieve contrast between polished and brushed surfaces. The Pilgrim comes with two coin-edged design, screwdown crowns; each is 7mm in diameter, making it easy to handle and wind as needed.  For those familiar with Horizon Watches’ first collection, you would have an inkling that the brand owners like to treat the watch they design like a labyrinth full of hidden clues. This thread continues here with the Pilgrim. You will find numbers, a quote, and text in places not immediately visible to the eyes. The early super compressor tended to mark the 12, 3, 6, and 9 hour indicators with a triangle frame. In the Pilgrim, this has been reinterpreted with a trapezium instead. To give the watch design a further twist, one of these trapeziums has been made into a date window, resulting in a super unusual super compressor, challenging you to find the secret date window! The centre of the dial for the Pilgrim has a finely polished finished raised cone that provides the base for the three uniquely designed hands for time reading. In line with the sea adventure story that inspired the collection, they are shaped like fishing spears. For superior legibility, all three hands are luminous. Look closely at the Pilgrim and you will find an excellent quality of polishing even on a small surface like the applied index and dot markers. Turn the Pilgrim over and find on the caseback a graphic illustrated by Bekher engraved on the caseback. The illustration depicts Pilgrim, the ship and a whale. In many cultures, a ship symbolizes journey and adventure. The crystal of the watch is a boxed type sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating applied on the interior side. The anti-reflective coating helps minimise glare under the sun and also increases dial readability. Every Pilgrim watch comes with an original design, high quality and super comfortable FKM rubber strap that is equipped with quick release spring bars. The buckle is of a custom design and finished in a similar style as the case, with a combination of brushed and polished surfaces. The Pilgrim is available in four colours: Blue Ocean, Black Ocean, Green Ocean and Young Captain's Edition.  Technical Specifications Case size: 41mm Case material: 316L stainless steel with brushed and polished finishings Case back: Screwdown close caseback with engraved graphic Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: SW200-1A with customised date disc Power reserve: Approx 38hrs Dial: Embossed sandblasted textured dial, polished applied indices with SuperLuminova (old radium lume/BGW9); hands are polished spear-shaped handset, filled with SuperLuminova (old radium lume/BGW9) Bezel: Inner rotating bezel filled with SuperLuminova (old radium/BGW9) Glass: Boxed sapphire with internal 3 layers of anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 20ATM Strap type: Rubber Strap material: FKM rubber Buckle: Stainless steel tang buckle, customised with logo Warranty: 1 year
