Akrone C-03 Horizon Austral Gun 39mm: 39mm titanium aviation watch

A blue sandwich dial contrasts with the dark Gun Metal case of this compact Horizon Austral. The 39mm case is made from Grade 2 titanium with Gun Metal DLC, measures 11.15mm thick and spans 46.5mm from lug to lug. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a push-pull crown and 100-metre water resistance complete the core specification.

The redesigned contrasting hands and BGW9-filled hour markers emphasise readability rather than decoration. The supplied black FKM rubber strap keeps the complete watch at a stated 72 grams; a titanium bracelet is optional. The Swiss Soprod P024 automatic movement offers 38 hours of power reserve. Akrone states that each is regulated in six positions in Nantes to −4/+6 seconds per day. The official French price is €599.
