Baselworld 2009: Airman forever
Glycine without Airman - unthinkable! The heritage company from Biel has been manufacturing the legendary world time watches for over 55 years. And the story continues. The long-established company from Biel will be presenting two new models this year: the Airman Double 24 09 and the Airman 7 DLC Golden Rim.
Airman Double 24 09 - 4 times 24 hours
The 24-hour watch is immediately recognizable as an Airman from Glycine - but the functionality of the Airman Double 24 09 goes even further than the previous models. Four independent time zones can be selected thanks to the special movement 2424 and independent inner and outer bezels. The inner bezel can be set with the screw down crown at four o'clock on the 24-hour display, the hands at six o'clock and the blocking system for the outer bezel at eight o'clock.
Airman 7 DLC Golden Rim - large and stately
The Glycine collection's largest figurehead is the Airman 7 - and that is to be taken literally, too: The pilot watch with three independent movements has an impressive diameter of 53 millimetres. The newest version of the Airman 7, the DLC Golden Rim, combines four high quality materials: titanium, carbon, DLC and - gold. The case is made of titanium and coated with extra hard, black matt Diamond-Like-Carbon DLC, the movement ring is made of carbon fibre. The gold rim made of 18 carat red gold creates a stately contrast to the technically high quality materials. Glycine will put only ten of these noble watches on the market.
