Black never looked so well. This watch brings to mind a black stallion with its refined and well chiseled body and lustrous sheen. The Airboss’ every movement counts, graceful and precise, unwavering in its efficiency to signify the time; so like a black beauty galloping by, confident in its every step.

Inspired by the instrument panel of a flight deck boss on an aircraft carrier, this watch might very well be as sophisticated as it is rugged and handsome. The triple-coated anti reflective sapphire crystal, the black ice color coated hands and letterings, and its luminescent segments work together to paint a very clear picture of time, ensuring that it’s highly visible in the black background. All these are encased in a sturdy and perfectly chiseled 45mm diameter steel case. Holding this work of art to its owner’s wrist is a black leather strap with grey stitching, true to the seldom utilized, but highly appreciated (in the Airboss’ case), overall theme of black and grey.

On the backcase, the Swiss Air Force emblem is rendered accurately together with the watches’ individual limited edition number (only 333 Airboss Mach 6 Power Gauge will be made). The clarity provided by the sapphire crystal of the mechanism the drives this watch is breathtaking. There’s almost nothing more complex than the inner workings of a mechanical watch. The Airboss commitment to serve as much detail as possible is made even more evident in the Victorinox Swiss Army logo on the oscillating weight. Every limited edition Airboss Mach 6 Power Gauge will come inside a special collector’s box.

Following on the success of its aviation-inspired AirBoss collection,  is expanding its Swiss Air Force series with a new line called Alpnach, named after the heliport base for the Cougar helicopters, pride of the Swiss army. Displaying its strong character with a 4-blade-rotor small seconds indicator, this powerful timekeeper combines performance and instant legibility thanks to its large numbers and over-sized hands.
