Is this a wristwatch, a desk watch, or designed for the instrument panel of a plane or helicopter? The Khaki Takeoff Auto Chrono is all three. Developed for Air Zermatt, the Swiss helicopter transport and rescue service, the case of this pilot’s watch can be removed from the strap to adapt to every situation, on land and in the air. Incorporating characteristic elements from cockpit instruments right down to the presentation box, features include a rotating flange, which is operated by the bezel, to record countdown times. The technology may be resolutely of today, the inspiration for this watch comes from the chronometer that Hamilton produced during the second world war, then considered to be the most complex aviation timer. Proposed as a 1,999-piece limited and numbered series.>>>Mechanical automatic, calibre H-31 with a typical 60-hour power reserve. Steel case with black PVD, 46.3 mm.
