Gallet Flying Officer Automatic 40 Streamlines the Travel Classic

Gallet’s Flying Officer Automatic 40 translates the brand’s historic travel-watch idea into a simpler three-hand format. Reference AG1701131C1W1 has a dark-blue dial, date at three o’clock and the redesigned city ring shared with the 2026 collection. The 40 mm stainless-steel case is 10.67 mm thick, notably slimmer than the chronograph, and comes on a black fabric strap with Gallet’s quick-release system.

The self-winding Gallet 17 calibre, based on the Sellita SW200, beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers an approximately 38-hour power reserve according to Gallet’s current product page. The case is rated to 100 metres. Priced at US$2,900 before sales tax in this configuration, it is the most straightforward route into the revived Flying Officer design.
