Time that flies

The Alpnach Chrono Power Gauge Limited Edition is named after the Cougar helicopter base of the Swiss Air Force in Alpnach, at the feet of the Alps. Like the AirBoss Mach 6 Limited Edition before it, this new timepiece from the Professional Series of Victorinox Swiss Army is inspired by the technicality of the aviation world. The bezel, crown and chronograph pushers are coated with black PVD, providing an additional protection to the stainless steel, a process widely used in aircrafts. The rotating bezel offers a 60-minute visual countdown function designed for precision time-tracking during operations.

 

The two signature features of the Alpnach Power Gauge Limited Edition are its four-blade small second indicator at 9 o’clock, designed after the rotor of the Cougar helicopter, and the mechanical movement’s 42-hour power reserve, or “Power Gauge” indicator at 3 o’clock, inspired by cockpit instruments. This select timepiece is limited to 532 units, in deference to the model number 532 of the Cougar AS 532 helicopter.
