This pioneering technology sits alongside retro features, inspired by the original Autavia watches dating back to the early 1960s. These include a bidirectional rotating bezel in blue ceramic, a rounded stainless-steel case and beveled lugs. The new 42mm three-hand Autavia, which is still inspired by aircraft dashboards, has a smoked blue dial with rhodium-plated hour markers and hands coated in SuperLuminova so they can be seen day and night.

With a guaranteed 38-hour power reserve and water resistance of up to 100 metres, this Autavia displays hours, minutes and seconds, as well as a date window at 6 o'clock. It is delivered with a brown calf leather strap and a stainless-steel bracelet; they can be swapped in a matter of seconds using a pushbutton. Price: €3,250.
