Swiss watchmaker Glycine introduces the AIRMAN Chrono 08 at the BaselWorld 2008.
The Glycine AIRMAN Chrono 08 displays three time zones and has an integrated chronograph.
the 24-hour
rotating bezel which is a novelty for Glycine as it
lies under the sapphire glass: it is separated into
a lower white part for the day and an upper black
part for the night. Thanks to the protection provided by the crystal, it was possible to use
luminous material, like on the dial. This makes the third time zone luminescent, too. The rotating
bezel can be adjusted with the screw down crown at 8 o’clock.
The trapezoidal date display and hands are based on the first Airman watches from the 50’s by
Glycine. Few red color elements highlight certain functions; for example, the hands for the
second and third time zones, the corresponding 24-hour scale on the dial, as well as the tip of
the stop second. The minute counter is found at 12 o’clock and the hour counter at 6 o’clock.
The AIRMAN Chrono 08 is also available as a strictly 24-hour watch with two time zones.
