I'd imagine that design every bit a subject wouldn't thrive culturally during a world state of war, but would rather exist driven by necessity and functional superiority. This, in turn became the design civilization of the 1930s. Everything was aesthetic, only most importantly, sensible. Pocket-watches became wrist-watches to go along your easily gratuitous, people shifted from Roman Numbers to Standard arabic Numbers for faster reading, and numbers on the dial became much bigger, so yous could read the fourth dimension in a glance. The 1930s were a fourth dimension of urgency, and a time where products were designed to last forever. The Beaufort Aerotimer reflects that era with its 1930s-inspired aesthetic, which even roughly 90 years later, looks just every bit beautiful and like a modern archetype.

The Aerotimer is a fusion of old and new, and of unlike styles that get in unique looking. Its dial, for instance, has both Roman too as Arabic numerals, referred to as a California Dial by lookout man aficionados. Popularized past Rolex in 1934, the upper half of the dial features Roman numerics, while the lower one-half features Standard arabic numbers. They're both punctuated past the Super-Luminova line-markings at the iii o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, a triangle mark on the height at the 12 o'clock position, and a engagement window at the 6 o'clock marker. Beaufort's classic Aerotimer scout doesn't come up without its touches of modernity too. The case for the watches are fabricated from 316L Stainless Steel, with sapphire drinking glass displays on both the forepart every bit well every bit the dorsum. The domed sapphire on the forepart comes with an anti-cogitating coating, while the drinking glass at the back reveals the Aerotimer's magnificent Swiss-made Sellita SW200-1 a precise, reliable, and robust movement that echoes the sturdy and dependable character of products in the 30s. The watch is self-winding and can exist hand-wound too, and comes with a 38 hr power reserve.

Each of Beaufort's vintage-championing Aerotimer watches are designed to be waterproof up to 10 ATM, and come up in silver and rose-gilded bodies, with dial colors ranging from a classic white, complementary salmon, aerotimer blue, and a rich Navy-inspired gilt blue. Couple these with the full-grain Italian Leather straps that come in cognac, navy blue, and black, and you've got a picket that's vintage-inspired only nonetheless beautifully evergreen.
