The edge-coin bezel comes fixed and displays a red marker at 12 o’clock that matches the tone of the chronograph pusher at 4 o’clock, which is also the brand’s signature. The fluted crown at 3 o’clock is embossed with the Marineflieger logo which is also displayed in yellow on the dial, sapphire crystal on both sides and 100m water resistance.
The blue dial features a tenant chapter ring with baton hour markers and a triangle with two dots at noon all filled with Super-LumiNova. In the centre a bi-compax layout with a 30-minute counter and running seconds at 3 and 6 o’clock respectively, a twelve Arabic numeral and at the opposite side a date window with a black background, two black skeletonized hands with luminescent white outlines tips, a centre chronograph seconds hand with a yellow trident counterweight and the brand’s white lettering followed by the inscription ‘Flieger’ at 12 o’clock.
