With its endurance, which allowed it to cover five hundred miles at a top speed of up to 170 miles per hour, the DC-3 enabled agile round-trip flights halfway around the world. The Aviator Douglas Day-Date Automatic Meca-41 watch captures the spirit of outdoor adventure with a touch of vintage style. Its innovative design, sleek lines, glossy styling accents and luxurious curves penetrate the very heart of the aircraft - the engine. Every component, gear, bolt and nut inside is set to the movements of the aircraft's radial engine, which is supported by a propeller that cuts through the air.

The case of the Aviator Douglas Day-Date Automatic Meca-41 V.3.36.8.290.4 is made of stainless steel with a gold PVD finish. It is hand-finished using fine watchmaking techniques and its rounded curves are inspired by the elegant sophistication of the Douglas aircraft fuselage. Its stunning, mirror-polished surfaces are enhanced by ergonomically fluid lines. And the curved feet exemplify the elegance of yesteryear while ensuring the right fit on every wrist. The caseback features a large aperture protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal that reveals the beauty of the movement, particularly its balance wheel and artisanal enlarged rotor. With its riveted elements, deeply engraved texture and carved windows reminiscent of an aircraft fuselage, the rotor pays homage 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. At first glance, the star-shaped central plate resembles its radial engine. The multi-layered dial, protected by a sapphire crystal, is a bird's eye view of the movement, while the SuperLuminova-coated numerals guide you through the visibility. Rotating calendar discs, a steel patterned base and carefully calculated central screws serve as the ultimate expression of the mechanical complexity of the dial's construction.

The movement of the watch is like an engine that drives time forward, functioning as a power unit and interacting with a series of interconnected components. Each cog, spool and gear are synchronized as they work together to power the Swiss AV-1000 caliber based on the famous Sellita SW-240 mechanical movement.

With a case diameter of 41.2 mm, the Aviator Douglas Day-Date Automatic Meca-41 V.3.36.2.289.4 fits most men's wrists. The 10 ATM water resistance rating makes this watch a great companion not only in the air, but also while swimming in the water.
