What to know

Gallet’s bicentenary relaunch brings the Flying Officer back as a 40 mm stainless-steel chronograph. Reference AG2301131B1X2 pairs a black dial and matching subdials with the model’s updated city ring, now organised around contemporary international gateways. A bidirectional 12-hour bezel adds a second-time-zone function, while the pump pushers and warm leather strap keep the vintage aviation character visible.

Inside is the self-winding Gallet 23, based on the Sellita SW510, with an approximately 65-hour power reserve and a 30-minute chronograph. The case is 15.02 mm thick and rated to 100 metres. Gallet lists the black leather-strap configuration at US$4,400 before sales tax, and equips the range with quick-release straps for tool-free changes.
