Gallet Flying Officer Chronograph 40 Takes a Light-Blue Route

The light-blue Flying Officer Chronograph 40 gives Gallet’s revived travel watch a softer, more contemporary face. Reference AG2301131C1W1 uses tone-on-tone subdials, a beige fabric strap and the collection’s updated city ring, which replaces the historic refuelling-stop scale with modern travel destinations. Its stainless-steel case measures 40 mm across and 15.02 mm thick, with a bidirectional 12-hour bezel.

Timing is handled by the self-winding Gallet 23 calibre, based on the Sellita SW510. It provides an approximately 65-hour power reserve and drives a central chronograph seconds hand with a 30-minute counter. Water resistance is rated to 100 metres, and the quick-release strap system allows tool-free changes. Gallet prices this fabric-strap reference at US$4,400 before sales tax.
