AOPA and Mühle-Glashütte celebrate association's 80th year with unique pilot watch

AOPA, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, the world's largest association for aviation enthusiast and pilots, has designed a watch with Mühle Glashütte, the legendary watch manufacturer. This limited edition of 500 pieces is to be released in celebration of AOPA's 80th anniversary.

"We are very proud of our 15 year relationship with AOPA and the release of this amazing watch in support of all they do for aviation," said DuberTime Group CEO Jeffrey Hess.

The timepiece's aeronautical chops begin with a triangular PIP indicator at the bezel that can be used to calculate the length of time or as a fixed GMT function. A jet black dial is emblazoned with the AOPA logo along with white numbers and hands.

A splash of colour is added with red markings at the quarters and a red tip to the minute hand for precise visibility. The result is a simple, clean look that gives a clear view of the essential information the wearer will need, especially important for pilots.

The case features a rugged coin-edge bezel and the exhibition case back reveals an elegant hand finished movement with a complete custom designed rotor. It all comes together on a supple black calf strap, designed for ultimate comfort with a stainless-steel clasp.
