Introduction
In the world of watchmaking, the name ADVOLAT stands for an unwavering commitment to precision and style. Their latest masterpiece, the FLIEGER GMT pilot's watch, is yet another testament to their expertise. It's a truly limited edition, with only 8888 pieces available worldwide. Each watch is a Swiss-made marvel, promising reliability, longevity and unique aesthetics.
The movement
At the heart of this horological marvel is the Swiss Ronda 515.24H movement, renowned for its reliability and precision. This movement powers the three conventional hands and the additional GMT hand. It offers quick correction, making it a breeze to adjust when travelling across time zones. With this watch, it's not just about owning a piece of luxury; it's about owning a piece of serviceability that will ensure its smooth operation for years to come.
The dial
The FLIEGER GMT dial is a seamless blend of practicality and style. It is available in two timeless colours - classic black with white indices and pristine white with black indices. The dial features a date window neatly positioned at 3 o'clock.
The black dial features luminescent hands that subtly glow against the dark background for easy readability in all conditions. This legibility is further enhanced by white luminescent hour markers. A distinctive feature of the FLIEGER GMT is its fourth hand - a bright red GMT hand. In essence, this watch goes beyond the standard three-hand model by incorporating an additional GMT hand, providing dual time-zone functionality, a much-needed feature for today's global traveller.
The case
The case of the FLIEGER GMT watch is a sturdy fortress for the intricate workings inside. With a comfortable diameter of 40mm and a height of 10.5mm, the watch makes a statement without being overly bulky. The case is crafted from tough 316L stainless steel, designed to withstand the test of time and the elements.
A layer of sapphire crystal adorns the dial, promising protection with clarity. The case is available in two stunning colours - elegant silver and a striking IP black. With a water resistance of 10 ATM, it can withstand splashes, rain and even swimming. Each FLIEGER GMT watch is individually numbered and engraved on the caseback, reinforcing its limited edition status.
The strap
The case comes with a range of strap options to suit different style preferences. Choose from a black Milanaise metal mesh strap with a magnetic clasp, a solid stainless steel strap to match the case with an integral double folding clasp or a Zulu strap in canvas or leather. The Zulu straps are available in black, blue or tan with a stainless steel pin buckle. They are fitted with quick-release spring bars and have a strap lug width of 20mm, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of wrist sizes.
About pilot watches with GMT
Pilot's watches have long been revered for their robustness, accuracy and legibility. The FLIEGER GMT is no exception. The additional GMT function has been developed to meet the needs of pilots who need to keep track of both GMT and local time on international flights. This has now become an essential feature for global travellers and watch enthusiasts. The additional hand that rotates around the dial every 24 hours, combined with a 24-hour graduation on an additional dial, gives this watch its distinctive GMT character.
