The Jumping Second Pilot – the star of 2013 and winner of the prestigious Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve – is the inspiration behind the new, sportier version of the current basic models at Habring².
The dial with its characteristic illuminated numbers coupled with a fully satinised stainless steel case is reminiscent of the service watches of the 40s and 50s. Whilst the Time-Date Pilot with its matt-black dial and easily readable large date at the three o’clock position remains loyal to the design of its grandfathers, the two new variants of the Time-Only with galvanized dials in grey and blue are completely new interpretations of the “everyday watch”.
All share the same Habring² “tractor” in the form of the tried and tested A09 calibre available both as a handwound model (A09M) and the exclusive, double-effect, automatic winding system (A09).
The pilot’s watch models are sportier versions of the classic Time-Only und Time-Date models that remain in the program.
