The Watch

Patrouille de France is a watchmaking brand crafting timepieces designed to elegantly appeal to aviation enthusiasts. Defined by precision, reliability, and refinement, its collections embody French watchmaking mastery and passion. Presenting the Athos 2 Watch A2-100ID-668125 - an exceptional model that balances understated style with true elegance. This watch features a round case in stainless steel enhanced by a Gun ionic plating and a brushed finish that gives it a sophisticated look. It houses a bezel in black PVD stainless steel displaying a tachymeter scale. This substantial case measures 42 mm in diameter - well-suited to men's wrists - with a thickness of 12.50 mm including the mineral crystal. At 3 o'clock, the knurled crown allows adjustment of the hour and minute hands as well as the date. The case back is secured by a screwed-down case back engraved with a personalized design, ensuring 10 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

The dial showcases a refined aeronautical look with a vintage touch. It features a black base enhanced by a grained finish reminiscent of an aircraft runway. A rehaut underlines a minute track paired with a seconds scale for added precision. The outer edge of the dial is marked by a second minute track accompanied by large Arabic numerals from 05 to 60. These markers are treated with luminescence for enhanced readability in low-light conditions. The 3 o'clock index is replaced by an Alpha Jet aircraft motif, adding a striking decorative touch. Opposite it, an arc-shaped date window displays 3 dates with an arrow pointing to today's date. The skeletonized hour and minute hands are also luminescent and are paired with a slim seconds hand whose white tip is shaped like an Alpha Jet. The eye-catching design is completed by the Patrouille de France emblem applied at 12 o'clock and the colors of France depicted at 6 o'clock, with the inscription "Made in France."

The Movement

This model is powered by a Japanese quartz movement - specifically the Miyota 2115 caliber, powered by a 377 battery with a 3-year life span, offering reliable analog display with a date function. Dependable and high-performing, it delivers accuracy of ±20 seconds per month.

The Bracelet

This watch is paired with an elegant strap crafted in bovine leather - highly comfortable and pleasant to wear. It features a brown color that lends a vintage feel perfectly matched to the dial. With a lug width of 20 mm, it is enhanced by white stitching and fastens with a classic pin buckle.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 100 meters - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this bold timepiece holds its own at black-tie events and in the water alike. You can confidently wear it in the shower, the bath, or during a vigorous swim. That said, our team of watchmaking experts makes it clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or high-pressure water jets. Remember - shower, bath, and swimming only, and never operate the pushers or crown underwater.
