FROM EARLY AVIATION TO THE FUTURE

On December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright invented their flying machine and sustained the first-ever human flight that changed the way the world viewed the open sky. Back then, pilots used to attach their pocket watches on the wrist to track the time of their flight. From then on, innovation in the air evolved and measuring instruments gained importance, as did the wristwatch that became essential equipment for pilots and a necessity among ladies and gentlemen alike. Inspired by over five generations of aeronautics, AVIATOR pays homage to the spirit flying. Our sophisticated modern day pilot’s watches have become favorites of aviation enthusiasts and professionals for more than two decades now.
