With the endurance to cover five hundred miles at a maximum speed of up to 170 miles per hour, the DC-3 aircraft made agile return flights across half the world possible. The Aviator Douglas Day-Date Automatic Meca-41 watch captures the spirit of adventure in the open air with a touch of vintage style. Its innovative design, elegant lines, polished accents and luxurious curves reach into the very heart of the aircraft – the engine. Every component, gear, screw and nut inside is set according to the movements of the aircraft’s radial engine, supported by a propeller that cuts through the air.
The case of the Aviator Douglas Day-Date Automatic Meca-41 V.3.36.0.286.4 watch is made of stainless steel. It is hand-finished using fine watchmaking techniques, and its rounded curves are inspired by the elegant refinement of the Douglas aircraft’s fuselage. Its mirror-polished surfaces are enhanced by ergonomically flowing lines. The curved lugs exemplify the elegance of years past while ensuring a proper fit on every wrist. The case back features a large opening protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, revealing the beauty of the movement, particularly its balance wheel and enlarged, hand-finished rotor. With its riveted elements, deeply engraved texture and cut-out windows reminiscent of an aircraft fuselage, the rotor pays tribute to early aviation and the art deco era.
The golden age of aviation is in the very DNA of the Aviator Douglas Day-Date Automatic Meca-41 watch. At first glance, the central star-shaped plate resembles its radial engine. The multi-layered dial, protected by a sapphire crystal, offers a bird’s-eye view of the mechanics, while the numerals coated with SuperLuminova help with visibility. The rotating calendar discs, patterned steel base and carefully calculated central screws serve as the ultimate expression of the mechanical complexity of the dial’s construction.
The watch movement is like an engine that drives time forward, acting as a power unit and working with a series of interconnected components. Every gear, coil and gear train is synchronised as they work together to power the Swiss caliber AV-1000, based on the renowned Sellita SW-240 mechanical movement.
With a case diameter of 41,2 mm, the Aviator Douglas Day-Date Automatic Meca-41 V.3.36.0.286.4 watch fits most men’s wrists. Its 10 ATM water resistance means that this watch is a great companion not only in the air, but also while swimming.
