Lightweight, pliable and inexpensive aluminium is much-used in certain sectors including transport and aeronautics. This silver-tone industrial metal is making more and more of an impact on the watchmaking sector as we can see with the Khaki Pilot Pioneer quartet. The 41mm aluminium case is available in 4 “military” colours: khaki green, commando black, navy blue and sand beige. Each has a matching dial and the same display: three polished or black lacquer hands in the centre track the hours, minutes and seconds in the form of indices and Arabic numerals surrounded by a 24 hour silver or black ring. A white date display lies at 3 o’ clock. The internal rotating bezel is set in motion by the pusher at 2 o’ clock. The time functions are brought to life by the self-winding H-10 movement which provides an 80-hour power reserve. Price: 1,050 CHF
