Swiss watch maker Victorinox adds yet another timepiece to its growing AirBoss Collection. Established five years ago, this series of fine watches is inspired by modern aircraft carriers’ control rooms and is dedicated to the Swiss Air Force, although they don’t have any aircraft carrier whatsoever.

Like any other pilot’s watch, the Victorinox AirBoss Mach 6 Power Gauge features a PVD coated stainless steel case with luminescent segments on its face, bezel and hands (in fact, the only element that lacks the Supeluminova treatment is the date indicator at 4 o’clock).

The 45mm case nests the famous Valjoux 7750 self-winding automatic chronograph movement, which can be see via see-through screw-in caseback. The only problem with the caseback is that a mineral glass used here, so you’ll have to be careful planning your flight missions. The watch’s face is covered with a triple-coated scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The Mach 6’s screw-down crown increases the timepiece’s water resistance to 100 meters.

Only 333 watches will be sold worldwide.
