P-1 Air Force
Price Tier N/A
The P-1 Air Force is Aeras contemporary expression of the pilots watch, shaped by aviation discipline, instrument clarity, and the distinctive grey-blue tone long associated with the Royal Air Force. | Built around the same principles as the original P-1 Pilot, it is stripped back, highly legible, and designed for life beyond the cockpit. The matte velvet grey-blue dial gives the watch a calm, precise character, whilst the large three-dimensional numerals, raised Aera logo, and clearly defined outer seconds track keep the display direct and easy to read. | In low light, the numerals and Aera logo, formed from 3D Tritec Swiss Super-LumiNova®, emit a vibrant orange glow, a colour rarely seen on contemporary pilots watches. White hour and minute hand frames are hand-filled with Grade X1 Swiss Super-LumiNova®, whilst the seconds hand features a luminous tip for added clarity after dark. | The 43mm case gives the P-1 Air Force the presence expected of a modern pilots watch, balanced by a refined case profile, curved lugs, and an integrated strap system designed to sit securely and comfortably on the wrist. | Aeras signature one-piece dished dial curves upward beneath the domed sapphire crystal, creating the smooth, pebble-like silhouette that defines the P-1 collection. For this edition, the case shape has been subtly refined and the lugs carefully reworked to improve balance when worn with Aeras integrated straps. | Inside is a Swiss-made Sellita SW200-1 Elaboré-grade automatic movement with up to 41 hours of power reserve, selected for its reliability, precision, and long-term serviceability. Each watch is Swiss Made and hand assembled by skilled artisans before final testing and quality control. | The case, case back, and buckles are crafted from brushed 904L stainless steel, chosen for its superior corrosion resistance and deeper lustre compared to industry-standard 316L steel. More difficult to machine and finish, 904L gives the watch the durability and character expected of a mechanical instrument built for regular use. | A screw-down crown and 100m water resistance add everyday robustness, whilst the updated six-screw case back gives the watch a more utilitarian, industrial character. | Precise, legible, and quietly capable, the P-1 Air Force is designed to become a dependable everyday instrument – worn often, relied upon daily and kept for years. | Produced in an edition of 300 pieces, each P-1 Air Force comes fitted with a Battleship Grey FKM rubber strap alongside a second integrated strap selected from a curated range. Both feature brushed 904L stainless steel buckles and quick-release spring bars, allowing the watch to adapt easily between environments and occasions.
