Inspired by the Alpnach-based Swiss Air Force Cougar helicopters, the new Victorinox Alpnach automatic chronograph aviation watch features a unique-looking four-blade small seconds indicator resembling the 4-blade rotors of the multi-mission choppers.

Just like any normal Swiss pilot’s watch, the Victorinox Alpnach combines high legibility with a multitude of functions. Besides the hours, minutes and seconds, the timepiece also features the date, chronograph, countdown and tachometer complications. The numerals and hands are treated with Superluminova fluorescent coating.

The watch’s Valjoux 7750 automatic movement is encased in a 43mm two-tone stainless steel body with black PVD treatment and a transparent screw-down caseback.
