Super LumiNova is a compound that provides luminescence in contemporary watches. The Super LumiNova is charged with a light source and continues to emit lume for several hours after to enable legibility of time in low light.

Power reserve is the maximum amount of time in which a mechanical movement can power itself when the mainspring has been fully wound.  A bidirectional rotor inside of the caseback of your watch  winds the mainspring through movement of the wearer’s wrist.  When first purchased or not worn consistently the watch may not be running but will start with a few revolutions of the rotor. We recommend that you wind the crown 30-40 revolutions in order to ensure maximum power reserve and accuracy. 

Timeless Aviator Spirit is an attribute and an attitude. It is a sense of adventure, exploration, and desire to push the boundaries of what is possible. An ambition to cut a new path and an eagerness to utilize all of one's skill sets to get there. The arrogance to believe, the confidence to act, and the humility to achieve. Times change but the Timeless Aviator Spirit stays the same.
