BA 701 Air Base Watch Set 668914 - Limited Edition

The Watch

Under the bright skies of Provence, Air Base 701 has been the operational home of the Patrouille de France since 1964. Here, women and men come together in a shared pursuit of excellence. Pilots train rigorously, mechanics prepare and maintain the Alpha Jets, and technical teams coordinate every stage of each mission with precision.

Together, they build the skill and teamwork that make the Patrouille de France admired around the world. Our BA 701 watch set pays tribute to this unique place, where expertise is passed on, discipline is shared and teamwork comes to life.

This watch pays tribute to French watchmaking and the renowned Patrouille de France. Made in France, it brings technology and style together. Its round stainless steel case gives it a sturdy, modern look, while the stainless steel bezel frames the dial with a sophisticated finish. Offered in a limited edition, the watch reflects a passion for precision and aviation.

The Dial

The dial features a striking skeletonized finish that reveals the movement within. Luminous hands and markers make it easy to read, even in the dark. Slim, elegant hands indicate the hours, minutes and seconds precisely. A railroad minute track around the edge adds clarity and refinement. A transparent case back offers another view of the carefully finished movement and the balance wheel in motion.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch is a Miyota 8N24 automatic movement powered by an oscillating weight. This Japanese caliber is known for its efficiency, reliability and quality construction. Technical details, including the movement's numerous jewels, contribute to smooth operation and durability. Its precise beat brings traditional mechanics and modern innovation together.

The Strap

The watch's strap combines comfort and style. Its primary blue technical fabric strap has understated stitching and a sporty, casual feel. An additional gray Milanese mesh bracelet offers a more classic, elegant option. Both have practical closures: a pin buckle for a traditional fit and a clip clasp for quick, secure fastening, letting you choose the look and fit you prefer.

Water Resistance

With a certified water-resistance rating of 100 ATM, this watch is built for demanding aquatic activities. Whether you enjoy scuba diving or water sports, it is designed to withstand the pressures of underwater environments.
