A love of the art of watchmaking and a passion for aviation, whose landmark event was the Wright brothers' first flight in 1903, contributed to the founding of the Swiss Aviator brand in 2000. Each dedicated collection features precision aviation watches that refer to the traditions and important events associated with more than 100 years of aviation history.
The Airacobra Automatic Chrono V.4.26.0.178.5 is an aviation watch from the Aviator brand. Aviator enthusiasts will like the vintage style that refers to the cockpit of the Airacobra fighter jet and surveying equipment. The military character is complemented by an enlarged crown, an aerodynamic envelope, large markers with Super-LumiNova coating and a Valjoux movement with practical functions.
The Aviator V.4.26.0.178.5 men's watch owes its high-precision gait of 28'800 A/h to the Swiss Made ETA 7750 Valjoux automatic movement. The caliber is bearing 25 jewels and has a 46-hour walk reserve.
The dial of the Swiss V.4.26.0.178.5 watch is protected by sapphire glass, which is highly transparent (it eliminates 99% of the reflections perceived by the human eye) and provides excellent protection against scratches. Aviator used this type of material because sapphire, after processing, achieves a very high hardness, which on the Mohs scale is 9 out of 10 points.
The Aviator V.4.26.0.178.5 is a men's watch with a luminescent Super-LumiNova coating, which is applied to, among other things, hands and indexes and even entire dials. This state-of-the-art technology, based on strontium aluminate and REACH-compliant, offers efficient illumination of indications in the dark. The mass is highly resistant to temperature, fading and aging.
The Aviator V.4.26.0.178.5 watch is equipped with a Day Date timepiece, i.e. two discs located under the dial. On the dial, in turn, there are two cut-out windows with the number shown (at 3 o'clock or 6 o'clock) and the full name of the day visible (at 12 o'clock). The function allows you to read the current date - the day of the month and the day of the week.
Aviator is known for its aviation watches equipped with practical amenities. One of them is the chronograph used to measure time accurately and record its episodes. The V.4.26.0.178.5 watch uses just this complication with ADD and SPLIT functions. The dial features three counters: hours or 1/10th of a second (depends on the collection), minutes and seconds.
Swiss watch brand Aviator has incorporated a practical tachymeter function in its aviation watch collection. The V.4.26.0.178.5 men's watch allows calculating the speed of movement of the wearer or any object. In this model it is an additional graduation, a speed scale mostly with a unit of kilometers per hour, located on the inner bezel or bezel.
The telemetry scale is a practical application in aviation, but not only. It is used to determine the distance separating the user from a lightning discharge, for example. Such calculations are possible based on the time separating the two observed events. In the Aviator V.4.26.0.178.5 watch, the telemeter function is applied to the dial in the form of an additional scale.
With a water resistance of 100 meters, you can safely swim with the Aviator V.4.26.0.178.5 watch on your wrist. There are no worries about it being flooded or damaged during particular water sports.
