As a professional diving watch, it displays the time clearly even in deep waters. The bezel, dial, and crown of the C117D are treated with Swiss SuperLuminova luminescent powder. Once it has absorbed light, the scale and time markers emit a highly visible glow, allowing the wearer to easily read the time during underwater activities.

With a strong emphasis on craftsmanship, the watch movement features a propeller motif inspired by the one found on our team’s C117D aircraft. It undergoes a multi-stage production process—including stamping, polishing, vintage-effect finishing, and embossing—to create a unique and iconic design.

This NavAir timepiece is powered by the reliable and robust NH35 automatic movement, a self-winding mechanical caliber. With a power reserve of approximately 41 hours, the NH35 is renowned for its precision and ease of maintenance, making it a highly regarded choice among watch collectors and enthusiasts. The movement also includes a date function, displayed on the dial at the 4:30 position. Thanks to its accuracy and reliability, this NavAir watch stands as a true testament to the beauty of mechanical engineering. The piece features a unique rotor design that incorporates a specially modified propeller shape—an element inspired by the wreckage of the C117D—resulting in a truly extraordinary feat of engineering.
