Type 20 Special Edition

The original Type 20 was created as a pioneering flight instrument for the French Air Force and Naval Aviation personnel in the 1950s.

This is UNDONE'-s contemporary and customizable commemoration of the Type 20: an embodiment of the intrepidness and innovation that propelled aviation to new heights this past century. For aircraft instruments, strength, weight and balance are crucial factors.

Type 20 is constructed from 316L stainless steel, and weighs in at just 52 grams. It'-s light, agile, and nimble, with great body rigidity for those daily knocks and bumps.

Classic body, modern engines - Type 20 is powered by the industry-trusted Seiko VK64, a hybrid mecha-quartz movement that couples the heritage of a mechanical 60-minute sweeping flyback chronograph with the low-maintenance reliability and precision of quartz.

Providing pilots with better grip for rotation - the coin-edged bezel, without doubt one of the aesthetically defining features of certain vintage aviation watches.

Attempting to set the time while wearing thick leather gloves proved no easy task for navigators. The tactile diamond crown has since become a staple feature of many flight-worthy timepieces.

Special Edition - A unique, 21st-century interpretation of the first Type 20. Dim the lights and prepare for takeoff. The centre console houses two large, white sub-dials surrounded by blue numerals- they glow sky blue under low-light conditions. All of this is encased in a stealthy, satin black PVD case and buckled up on a black cordura strap. Type 20 Special Edition comes exclusively with a secondary strap: the black NATO.
