Blancpain Air Command In Vintage Green

The design inspiration of the new Blancpain Air Command watches comes from a legendary Blancpain chronograph that came out in the 1950s. Pilots used this watch to help plan flight routes and measure the flight time after the aircraft took off. Although the first generation of chronographs was produced in small quantities, it attracted great attention at the time. Today, the new watch reinterprets the retro aesthetics with a unique color combination, and has become a highly sought-after star watch due to its extraordinary precision timing.

The new Blancpain Air Command chronograph has a diameter of 42.5 mm and 36.2 mm, which can easily adapt to different wrist sizes. The watch is made of satin-finished and polished 23-grade titanium alloy. Its strong corrosion resistance and sporty appearance convey a tribute to the fearless aviation spirit of that era. The two new watches are limited to 200 and 100 pieces respectively, both equipped with a ceramic-inlaid bidirectional rotating titanium alloy countdown bezel, and decorated with numbers and scales coated with retro-style Super-LumiNova super luminous coating; the hour hand, minute hand and dial digital time scale also use the same fluorescent coating. All these elements complement the various dial indicators under the unique box-shaped sapphire glass and the stitching colors on the leather strap, creating a harmonious visual effect; the green main color that highlights the spirit of adventure further highlights the retro charm of the watch.

The new Air Force Commander Chronograph, inspired by aviation-specific instruments, combines cutting-edge watchmaking techniques to create extraordinary precision performance and is a model of measuring instruments. The two timepieces are equipped with F188B (36.2 mm diameter watch) and F388B (42.5 mm diameter watch) automatic winding movements, with excellent flyback chronograph functions. The new watch is equipped with a column wheel system with a vertical clutch, a complex and long-standing structure that ensures that the start and stop of the chronograph function are accurate and will not be stuck. Just press the button once to complete the operation process of resetting the current timing and starting a new timing. In contrast, traditional chronographs require three presses on two buttons to achieve the full set of operations of stopping, resetting and restarting the timing. The F388B movement is particularly worth mentioning. Its operating frequency is as high as 5 Hz, which can subdivide each second into 10 tenths of a second, achieving ultra-high timing accuracy.

The new Blancpain Air Command watch inherits the essence of vintage pilot watches and perfectly combines the flyback chronograph function with the rotating bezel. The bezel has a countdown function and is decorated with counterclockwise numbers and time scales. It is also equipped with a speed scale in kilometers per hour to meet the pilot's needs for calculating time, mileage and ground speed.
