Aviation 01 Black Cristo Tattoo Watch CT-002-A / CRISTO

The Watch

The Carlingue Aviation 01 Black Cristo Tattoo watch delivers a bold, artistic statement through its unique design - born from a collaboration with tattoo artist Allessandro Pennella. The round case, measuring 40 mm in diameter and 13.65 mm thick, is crafted in 316L steel with a black PVD coating. This material choice ensures outstanding durability while adding a sophisticated edge. The case also features a bidirectional bezel with luminescent markers and a minute track, perfect for precision lovers. The transparent screw-down caseback offers a stunning view of the internal movement, while the domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment protects the dial from scratches and glare. Designed to be both functional and captivating, the watch features hands and Arabic numerals that glow with SuperLuminova. As a limited series, it's set to become a rare and sought-after piece.

The Dial

The dial of this Carlingue watch is a masterpiece of design, featuring a sunray finish that reflects light magnificently. Its green hue adds a touch of elegance and modernity to the whole. The hands and Arabic numerals are coated with SuperLuminova, ensuring optimal legibility even in low-light conditions. A subtly integrated date window keeps you informed of the day without compromising the aesthetics. The minute track flows harmoniously around the dial for precise, detailed timekeeping. The GMT function also lets you track a second time zone - making this watch especially useful for travelers or anyone with international connections.

The Movement

Inside this watch beats a Japanese automatic movement, the Miyota 9075 caliber. This mechanism is renowned for its reliability and precision, oscillating at a frequency of 28,800 A/h. With a generous 42-hour power reserve, it gives its wearer peace of mind and freedom. Beyond standard hours, minutes, and seconds display, the movement integrates a date window and a GMT function to indicate the time across two distinct time zones. The transparent caseback offers a fascinating view of this beating heart, revealing the meticulous engineering that makes it a standout piece for fine watchmaking enthusiasts.

The Strap

The strap of this watch is a true work of art in white and multicolor leather, decorated with an upside-down image of Christ by tattoo artist Allessandro Pennella. This singular design - with delicately added drops of blood - boldly contrasts with the understated dial, bringing a personal, artistic touch to the timepiece. Topstitching reinforces the handcrafted feel and ensures a premium finish. The strap fastens with a pin buckle in black, in perfect harmony with the watch's overall tone while guaranteeing a secure, comfortable fit. Its 20 mm lug width makes strap changes straightforward, offering versatility and adaptability to its wearer's style.

Water Resistance

This watch also impresses with its water resistance, rated up to 10 atmospheres. That means worry-free everyday wear and confidence during light water activities such as swimming or sailing.
