Athos 668911 Automatic Watch Gift Set Blue Dial Steel Bracelet

The Watch

Delivered in a pilot helmet-shaped gift box in Patrouille de France colors, this model pairs aeronautical inspiration with French precision. Its round stainless steel case features a generous 42 mm diameter, perfectly in line with current trends. The brushed and polished finishes give it a decidedly modern, masculine character. Made in France, this watch embodies strength and elegance through a thoughtfully crafted design. The transparent caseback offers a hypnotic view of the internal mechanism, reinforced by a screwed caseback guaranteeing a substantial 10 ATM water resistance - equivalent to immersion at 100 meters depth. This technical feat makes the watch resistant to everyday aquatic activities, while preserving a distinctly French elegance.

The Dial

The heart of this watch lies in its blue skeleton dial, revealing the silhouette of the iconic Alphajet flown by the Patrouille de France. This dial offers a window into the synchronized dance of elegantly arranged gears. Luminescent indices and hands ensure easy reading even in low-light conditions, adding an essential functional dimension. The bold design is further enhanced by an Alphajet-shaped seconds hand tip - a tribute to the remarkable precision and aeronautical heritage of the Patrouille de France. This dial, protected by a flat mineral glass, is not only a technical work of art but also a symbol of style and daring.

The Movement

Powering this watch is a Miyota 8N24 Japanese automatic movement. This proven, robust caliber beats at 21,600 A/h (3 Hz) and offers a generous 40-hour power reserve, ensuring reliable autonomy without frequent winding. This movement showcases Japanese watchmaking expertise, celebrated worldwide for combining outstanding reliability with high precision.

The Bracelet

The stainless steel bracelet in gray adds a timeless touch and harmonizes perfectly with the case. This material delivers excellent durability while maintaining a refined appearance. The deployant clasp ensures a secure and comfortable fit on the wrist, while the 22 mm lug width provides a perfect hold.

Water Resistance

With a 10 ATM water resistance, this watch is robustly engineered to handle the elements. It keeps its components safe from splashes, rain, and accidental immersion at depths equivalent to 100 meters. The result is a perfect blend of practical functionality and refined elegance - a go-to choice for sailing enthusiasts and casual water sports, with a touch of everyday prestige. The screwed caseback doubles the protection, making this timepiece as reliable as it is sophisticated.
