Description
The Aviator Douglas Dakota timepiece takes cues from the minimal styling, subtle sophistication and rugged reliability of the influential aircraft of the same name from the 1940s. The Dakota aircraft is considered to be one of the most famous and successful designs in aviation history. Made with high-end, first-rate materials, the Aviator Douglas Dakota watch blends military precision with a vintage elegance. Its clean dial makes readability effortless, while its elegant design accents will gain you recognition in any sphere.
Modeled after the Dakota’s cockpit panel, the brushed matte and grained surfaces of the dial of the Aviator Douglas Dakota bring a subtle minimalism to its fundamental design. The fine, concentric circles and the circularly brushed numerals on the recessed ring help blend pure elegance with a military sophistication. Its retro Super-LumiNova Cathedral hands, along with the bold, luminescent triangle and hourly indexes make readability key and clear. Together, this watch will command your attention in making time your top priority.
The case is comprised of three symmetrical parts: bezel, body case, back case. Using a combination of brushing and sandblasting with fine watchmaking techniques, the rounded curves and streamlined matte surfaces reflect the elegant spirit of the Dakota military aircraft. Meanwhile, the curved lugs provide a proper fit on any wrist and draw attention to a uniquely minimalist and vintage style.
At the heart of the Aviator Douglas Dakota is one of the most well-known, Swiss-made mechanical movements. Featuring an Sellita SW200 movement, it is considered a highly reliable workhorse with precision at its core. This movement is crafted with a fusion of advanced technologies and artisanal expertise. The Incabloc Novodiac superbly offers protection from shocks and bumps. Meanwhile, the caliber beats at 28,800 bph and it is powered by an Etachron regulator to maintain precision, both on and off the ground.
Incorporating the Douglas Dakota cockpit altitude indicator instrument in its design, the caseback of the Aviator Douglas Dakota watch replicates the functionality that measures the aircraft’s orientation with respect to the Earth’s horizon. This feature is covered in crystal to protect from scratches and shocks, and also provides a comfortable fit on the wrist. It is the finite details that reflect aviation heritage and fine watchmaking techniques such as this feature that is built into every Aviator watch.
