The Airfight Chronograph is the latest addition to Reservoir’s Airfight collection, while also being the watchmaker’s first chronograph that’s dedicated to aviation.

Arriving in two versions, the chronograph is offered in a stainless steel build or a black PVD-coated and brushed-finish case. The highlight of the new timepiece is its Bi-Retrograde display that nods to the legendary P-51 Mustang fighter aircraft. This is paired with a pitch-black dial plate, complete with lume-filled indices and hands. The tachymeter incorporated bezel provides a measurement of speed based on travel time over a fixed distance.

Viewable from the see-through caseback, the Swiss-made RSV-Bi120 chronograph movement beats at a frequency of 28,800vph. It’s geared with 60 hours of power reserve, while also being capable of withstanding 50 meters underwater. The timepiece is accompanied by a black canvas and leather strap or a black PVD stainless steel bracelet.

Retailing for $5,750 USD, the new Airfight Chronograph will be available to order via Reservoir and select retailers in September.
