The shiny blue minute and hour hands resemble the aircraft’s rotor blades while the GMT hand, with its red pointer, references a compass. The small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock is inspired by the attitude indicator and the openwork black leather strap completes the aviator look of the timepiece.

Throughout his life, Raymond Weil demonstrated a visionary’s thinking, an independence of spirit and an admirable determination.
