What makes a watch an icon?

The appeal of an enduring design?

Its timeless ability to survive through changing trends?

A continuing association with its origins and aeronautical fighting spirit?

In the case of Aviator’s Bristol timepiece. The conception of the Bristol is an interesting tale. Born in Russia, the Bristol watch is a response to Bristol fighter pilots who needed a robust wristwatch to monitor the time mid-battle when pocket watches no longer suffice. The original featured unusual lugs and a resolutely round shape reminiscent of the aircraft’s cockpit. 

These are some of the fighters...

Aviator has clearly journeyed through time since its inception that mirrors the progression of aircrafts from gliders to supersonic planes. From its humble beginning as a robust wristwatch to the precision instrument of choice for MIG pilots, Aviator is paying tribute to these legendary planes with each subsequent incarnation.

Over the decades, Aviator has been used by many people in extreme professions: such as military, rescuers and pilots – as well as horology aficionados – building an excellent reputation in Europe, America and Asia. A proud stance is inevitable as its forms a symbiotic association with yet another extreme profession – One Fighting championship. 

Since 2011 Aviator watches have been developed and manufactured in Switzerland’s Canton of Jura – home of the watch making industry. This location facilitates collaboration with the highest quality suppliers enabling us to pursue our philosophy: to build reliable watches meeting the rigorous standards of time instruments, whilst combining original aviation designs.

Today, it embraces a new persona as it makes inroads into a fascinating new arena where pummelling your opponents is just the beginning of an evolving recreational pursuit that epitomises the oft quoted Darwinian catchphrase.
