Inspired by aircraft cockpit displays, Techné’s “Altitude” dial features 4 broad hours indexes and 5 minutes increments. The design has been adapted to accommodate a 24 hours register that can also be used as a solar compass.
Water-resistant to 50 metres, the watch comes in limited edition of pieces coated with a “cockpit black” PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition).
Both versions are available on a woven strap design in nylon 6 (used by NATO armed forces), or a pilot strap in oiled calf leather and prices range from around $309.00 to $335.00.
The watches are available on the official TechneWatches.biz store, or through selected partners listed at TechnéWatches.com.
