Officer's Blue

HIGHLIGHTS:

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT:

The Officer's Blue brings a fresh dial colour to our iconic MACH 1 Pilot collection. Aviation watches are usually monochromatic affairs, but this Officer's Blue gives you a unique colour to wear, while still keeping the Pilot watch character intact. Designed after the striking IAF Officer's Blue No. 6 uniform, this dial is a definite attention grabber. While the black numerals on the blue dial ensure excellent contrast and daytime visibility, the bright Super-Luminova® pips against at every hour ensure equally good visibility in the dark. This Officer's Blue is a versatile addition to your watch box.

BACKSTORY OF THIS WATCH:

In December 1971, the Bangladesh liberation movement in East Pakistan was at its peak. The enemy Air Force launched pre-emptive strikes on Indian Air Force bases in the Western and Eastern fronts. It was during these crucial times that the MiG 21 FL Type 77 (NATO Codename FISHBED) played a critical role in defending India's airspace. Type 77 was the first supersonic fighter jet of the IAF to be built in India by HAL. It created an air-superiority umbrella so fierce that the enemy Air Force was forced to ground their planes. After serving the IAF for five decades, the MiG 21 Type 77 retired in 2013. The MACH 1 Collection pays tribute to this iconic plane.
