Designed and developed in collaboration with the French Air Force, the Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force is equipped with Seiko's VK61 hybrid caliber featuring a vertical bi-compax chronograph and French Air Force's logo and roundel stamped in the dial.

VK61 MECA-QUARTZ CALIBER 

Seiko's VK61 caliber time functions are driven by a quartz heart, while the chronograph's function is controlled by a mechanical module, which makes the central chrono hand to sweep fluidly. The sub-register at 12 o'clock holds the chronograph's 60 minutes timer while the 6 o'clock sub-register serves as small seconds hand.

BIG CROWN & SATIN-FINISHED CASE

The slightly oversized crown allows fighter pilots to easily manipulate their watch even when wearing gloves, making this model a true flight instrument. The case, crown and pushers feature a matte satin finish. French Air Force logo is embossed in the crown in an elegant glossy finish.

BI-COMPAX CHRONOGRAPH

This chronograph features two vertical sub-registers. The aviation-style hour and minute hands and the hour markers use the same beige colour in order to enhance readability.

FRENCH AIR FORCE CASEBACK

The 316L stainless steel caseback features French Air Force logo embossed with a hydraulic press.

SUPER-LUMINOVA

The hands and hour markers are coated with a layer of Super-LumiNova offering perfect readability in the darkness.

FRENCH AIR FORCE CANVAS STRAP

Manufactured in our region (Franche-Comté), the canvas (fabric) strap has been specially designed to match the dial colour. It features French Air Force logo on its leather coating underside, providing an enhanced wearing comfort.
