SWISS MADE WATCHES

Since the dawn of time, humans have dreamt of flying. The history of powered and controlled

aviation, which began in the early 1900s, is inseparably connected to that of wristwatches. As aviators

experienced difficulties checking their pocket watches to time their performance during flights, they

started to look for a solution.

This resulted in the development of mens wristwatches, which allowed aviators to keep both hands

on the controls. From then on, wristwatches evolved from robust to sophisticated designs, along with

the progression of aircrafts from gliders to supersonic planes.The brand Aviator pays tribute to the

history of aviation, embodying watches within this amazing story. Each family of watches represents

a different era in the development of aviation. The Vintage family is dedicated to the Pioneer Era and

Golden Age of aviation. It includes the evolution from pocket watch style wristwatches to classical

pilot watches of the Second World War. Inspired by the history of MIG aircrafts, Aviator created a family

of watches named after these legendary fighter planes. The Professional special range of watches

was built to meet the most rigorous requirements of contemporary aviators.

ORIGINS

It is not a coincidence that the brand Aviator was created in Russia, a country, which historically is

renowned for its aviation feats and courageous pilots. The Brands mission is to build exceptional

watches that not only serve exceptionally, those who conquer the skies, but all those who support

them from the ground. Since the year 2000, Aviator has provided watches to people of the most

extreme professions, such as military, rescuers and pilots, as well as to watch and aviation lovers,

building its excellentreputation for more than a decade in Europe, America and Asia. Starting from

2006 Aviator has been the official timekeeper of the Russian aerobatic team Swifts, pilots of which

fly the legendary MIG-29 fighters.

THE BIRTH OF THE BRAND

Since 2011 Aviator watches have been developed and manufactured in Switzerlands Canton of Jura

home of the watchmaking industry. This location facilitates collaboration with the highest quality

suppliers enabling us to pursue our philosophy: to build reliable watches meeting the rigorous

standards of time instruments, whilst combining original aviation designs. In the cultural heart of the

Jura, in the town of Porrentruy, our manufacture brings together all the brands watchmaking

operations, including research and development, movement modification, assembly of components,

and rigorous multi-level quality tests. Every Aviator watch combines the professional skills

and experience of watchmakers, with the sincere passion for aviation and the art of timepieces.

The Kingcobra ghter is a perfe successor of the Airacobra with updated funionality called on to im-

prove the performance. Developed in 1943 it immediately proved a successful aircra winning many erce

bales of the sky during WWII. Like the aircra, the Kingcobra watch colleion serves as a perfe addition

to its predecessor, the Airacobra model, introducing new features such as indication of day in a separate

aperture and a 24-hour scale providing pilots an opportunity to diinguish day and night time in extraordi-

nary military conditions.

Keeping a military-yle design and inrumental feel of dial the colleion features a variety of new co-

lours with mae anthracite tones. Contraing shades of numerals and hands coated with SuperLuminova

material give the dial excellent readability qualities in the poore visibility conditions. In addition, AVIATOR

designers have introduced an option with modied date window, which with its vertically arranged dates

resembles the altimeter of aircras dashboard.

Available in dierent colour variations, with leather rap or ainless eel bracelet, this urdy watch with

oversized ainless eel case, which is water-resiant to 10 ATM and ed with sapphire cryal, providesa perfe choice for lovers of classical military-yled pilot watches.
