Continuing the tradition of authentic vintage aviation watches, the Air Command offers two distinct timing modes: A flyback chronograph and a countdown bezel. However, this model firmly embraces the 21st century. The blue dial and the ceramic bezel insert give it a contemporary and elegant aesthetic. Further refinement can be found in the sunburst, snailed dial finishes, and alternating satin-brushed and polished case finishing.
Blancpain’s allure lies in its blend of rich heritage, superb craftsmanship, innovation, and a steadfast dedication to quality and design. These highly desirable qualities are exemplified perfectly by the Air Command collection, whose history contributes to the brand’s prestige and craftsmanship.
The Air Command collection takes its design cues from a rare 1950s Blancpain chronograph, resulting in a model with a distinctly vintage look. The layout of the counters and the tachymeter scale on the dial, the shape of the luminescent hands and hour-markers, the piston-style chronograph pushers, and the “glass box” sapphire crystal all pay homage to the original timepiece.
