Airain Type 20 ACE Chronograph 428.440
The Airain Type 20 has long been celebrated as an iconic timepiece, known for its rich history and timeless design. Now, in collaboration with Ace Jewelers, we’ve reimagined this classic with a contemporary twist. The clean silver white dial, bold orange hands, and meticulously crafted details elevate this original aviation watch, transforming it into a statement piece that’s both modern and bold.
This collaboration is about more than designing a watch—it’s a shared journey rooted in friendship. Tom van Wijlick, CEO of Airain, and Alon Ben Joseph, CEO of Ace Jewelers, have shared a deep appreciation for horology and craftsmanship for years. Their mutual dedication to these values has culminated in the creation of the Type 20 ACE, a timepiece that celebrates their vision and longstanding friendship.
The Movement:
The Type 20 is powered by the caliber AM2, a hand-wound column wheel chronograph movement developed by Manufacture AMT in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. This movement features a flyback function, allowing pilots to quickly reset the chronograph and start a new timing event without delay. It boasts a power reserve of 63 hours and includes 23 jewels with Incabloc shock protection, ensuring durability and precision.
