SWISS CRAFTSMANSHIP
Built on generations of excellence, Le Jour timepieces reflect strict Swiss manufacturing standards, undergoing rigorous quality control for ultimate reliability.
BRONZE CASE
Machined from premium CuSn8 grade bronze, the 45mm case is a living artifact. Exposure to ocean air, moisture, and wear initiates an organic oxidation process, causing the alloy to develop a rich, darkened protective patina unique to the habits of its wearer. Paired with a heavy-gauge, riveted leather strap, the structural lines of the case will naturally age over time, transforming a pristine instrument into a highly individualized record of journey and adventure.
TACTICAL LEGIBILITY
Designed for instantaneous readability under extreme flight conditions, the dial features a fine matte texture that absorbs stray light and eliminates glare. High-contrast Arabic numerals and broad cathedral hands are generously coated with Swiss Super-LumiNova, ensuring uncompromised low-light visibility. Every marker and index directly references the stark geometry of vintage cockpit gauges, maintaining absolute functional purity.
SWISS AUTOMATIC
The Flieger Bronze is driven by the proven Sellita SW200 movement. This 26-jewel automatic caliber beats at 28,800 bph, delivering flawless timekeeping and a smooth, continuous sweep of the seconds hand - built for a lifetime of dependable performance.
