ernst benz great circle chronoscope watch 3

Those with a passion for aviation and aircrafts in general should know that Swiss engineer and inventor Ernst Benz is adding to their exquisite watch collection with the new Ernst Benz Great Circle Chronoscope.

Inspired by Benz’s original aircraft gauges from the 60s and 70s, the elegant timepiece features an accurate Swiss movement that follows the company’s reputation. The watches have 47mm black PVD coated cases, come with white or orange luminescent numerals and hands that look almost like a flying rotor, with either a carbon fiber mesh dial (a material often found in aerospace applications) or a matte finished dial for an amazing style statement.

Definitely ignoring the whole global recession thing, the limited edition Ernst Benz Great Circle Chronoscope offers the choice for either ballistic nylon, rubber or hand-stitched Louisiana alligator leather straps, and come with custom black calendar disks. Slated to adore any wrist it gets on, the watch will cost something between $5,100 and $5,900 and only 250 models will ever be built.

Seems like the perfect accessory to wear when taking those flying lessons, isn’t it?
