n World War I, Lieutenant Costes fought head-to-head against
lead-spitting enemy planes over the Balkans. Ten years later, the
daring French pilot navigated the pitch black skies over the South
Atlantic. He soared across three time zones from Senegal to
Brazil, setting the record for the world’s first non-stop flight
across the South Atlantic.
For WW I pilots like Costes, victory was decided
in a fraction of a second. The first multi-function
wristwatches forever changed air combat, allowing
pilots to time complicated maneuvers and
coordinate attacks. Every decent Ace had one.
Now, it’s your turn.
As a fully-loaded precision timepiece with
fighting good looks that’s also priced to take
out the competition, the
Flyboy® Blue
is
without a doubt, your secret advantage.
We studied classic aviator timepieces
to match the vintage design.
Then, our
watchmakers updated the movement for the
21st century, making it even more accurate
than the originals. Three tachymeters and
a movable bezel measure speed and ascent
and chronograph functions measure elapsed
time. Complications mark minutes and
hours and include a 24-hour display.
Satisfaction is 100% Guaranteed.
Take
the
Flyboy® Blue
for a test flight. If it fails to
impress, send it back within 30 days for a
refund of the item price. But, we’re confident
this ace will accomplish its mission.
Limited Reserves.
A watch of this caliber
takes over six months to create. Don’t miss this
opportunity to gain your secret advantage. Call today!
