Introducing the GOLDEN AVIATOR

SCHEMPP-HIRTH, the world famous manufacturer of sailplanes, is celebrating 75 years since incorporation of the company (1935-2010). This event has inspired both myself (Walter Schempp) and Boris Mueller to create the GOLDEN AVIATOR Chronograph, a limited edition of 75 pieces.

The GOLDEN AVIATOR has the finest decorated Swiss Movement ETA/Valjoux 7750, which is chronometer certified, guaranteeing a very precisely operating timepiece. This technical masterpiece of the movement is safely housed in a rosé-gold case.

Furthermore we are introducing a new technology, ensuring the best legibility. Details to follow soon.
