Aviator

Description

AUTOMATIC DUAL TIME, TITANIUM PINK GOLDSix months of hard work to make the Aviatora reality. The aviation industry always had big technologicalneeds. Research for materials and reliabilityof the instrumentation constitute two major axesthan directed one of the most impressive technicalevolutions that humanity knew.It makes no surprise that the two worlds of aviationand watch-making has common synergies. Theexchange of discoveries and skills being profitableto both worlds.So the watchmakers benefited from aerospaceresearches which allowed them to appropriate materialssuch as the titanium, carbon fibers and ceramics.On the other hand, watch-making proposesfor more than half a century watches, certainlyintended for the airmen, but who are very oftenonly the fruit of an adaptation in terms of legibilityor handiness.If The Aviator is the first watch to supply an indicationspecifically useful for the piloting of aircrafts,it is certainly note a fate. Yeslam BinLadin, her inventorindeed adds up more than 3500 hours offlight time on various types of jet. Thanks to hisexperience and his watch-making activity, he sawsthat a gap exists of what is on offer in the watchmakingindustry.And so was born the idea to create The Aviator,first watch able to calculate the true airspeed of anairplane.The speed indicated by the instrumentation of ajet (I.A.S Indicated Air Speed) does not correspondto its real speed (True Air Speed). This measureis modified by the height and the temperature atwhich travels the plane because they have a directinfluence on the density of the air. This has naturally a significant incidence on the duration of a flightwith all the evident consequences which it canhave for organization and navigation.Naturally todays airplanes are all equipped withintegrated flight computer which calculatesexactly the true airspeed of an airplane. However,the electronic breakdowns of the instrumentationdo not constitute an extremely rarephenomenon. Furthermore, it can also be usefulto anticipate - even before being on board- a schedule of flight. Here were two of themain reasons that drove to the development ofa mechanism of bi directional rotating bezels allowingto perform in an instant this calculation.For that purpose, it was necessary to create acomplex graduation, this one not being linear.The result is an international patent.Most of the existing rotating bezels are inventedfor divers, hence their rotation is unidirectionaland rotate 360°.For The Aviator, it was necessary to imaginea new construction whereby the bezel of TheAviator align themselves exactly in front of thegraduations. The rotation is bidirectional andhas an angular limit to its movement.The set can be disassembled entirely to guaranteean irreproachable maintenance. The sobrietyof the aspect of The Aviator hides the big complexityof its case. Aerospace industry materialssuch as titanium and ceramic were used.As usual at Yeslam, dials are produced in a singleblock in the heart of the workshop of the brandaccording to a unique and exclusive process.AUTOMATIC DUAL TIME, TITANIUM PINK GOLDTHE AIn the gold and Titanium versions, the dial is anopenwork letting appear disks and cogs of themechanism of big date. The motive evoking thefans of a reactor and is decorated with ctes deGenve in helixes by the technicians of the brandfor this model.The luxurious colour anthracite of these is obtainedby treatment with electrolysis in black rhodiummade possible by the recent opening of a workshopof galvanoplasty.The construction staged bezel, dial and movementgive to The Aviator the balanced perspectives evokingthe volume and the depth of the engines ofjets.Available in various versions, this model in competitioncontains a mechanical automatic movementTT651 Based on ETA 2892-A2. It indicates hours,minutes, seconds and a second time zone (hoursand minutes) at 6 and a Grande Date at 12.This patented converter system IAS/TAS is basedon a unique mechanism with a bidirectional rotativebezel.The case 44mm in titane and rose gold 750 isequipped with a crystal sapphire with anti reflectivetreatment and has a 5ATM water resistance.The dial is engraved in one piece trough anexclusive machining process. Strap in Calf withfolding clasp.
