FLAGSHIP 40

Axios Watches is proud to present the second act, the Flagship - A renaissance of the vintage dive watch.

A truly excellent watch tells a story, and the story of the Flagship finds its spirit in the man of Horatio Nelson, Vice Admiral of the British Royal Navy. As a commander, Lord Nelson was a brilliant naval strategist and best known for his decisive role in the Battle of Trafalgar in October of 1805.

Etched onto the caseback of each Flagship is the HMS Victory, the last flagship of Lord Nelson as he sailed into battle against Napoleon's larger naval force. Upon suggestion that another ship should lead the line into battle, Lord Nelson refused. And when asked to cover the stars on his uniform to hide his rank, he said "In honour I gained them, in honour I will die with them."

Lord Nelson's fleet won that battle in a decisive victory, but he would perish in that fight. As he laid dying below deck from his wounds, his last words were "Thank God I have done my duty...God and country."

Duty & Purpose
There is a joy that comes from duty, excellence and purpose.

A true sports watch needs to be reliable and sturdy - our foremost thoughts when designing the Flagship. The case is built with 316L stainless steel while both box crystal and bezel feature the extremely hard sapphire glass. The screwed down crown is pressure tested for up to a 200m depth rating.

The Flagship was designed for duty.

A Class Above
Holding on to an ideal, until the end.

Though robustly built, we did not want the Flagship to be thoughtless and severe. Contrasting polished and brushed finishes give the Flagship a refinement not usually seen in dive watches. Neatly chamfered edges run in tune with the coin-edge bezel, and a deliberately thin case profile with the accompanying beads of rice steel bracelet adds dimension.

On the dial, applied indices lie on a sunburst surface - a combination amplified by the 3D-effect of the sapphire box crystal with inner anti-reflective coating.

Nelson's flagship, the HMS Victory moors proudly on the caseback, high polished where appropriate.

A Light in Dark Times
"England expects that every man will do his duty."
-Horatio Nelson's flag signal at Trafalgar

Rectangular applied indices of the Flagship commemorate the flag signals hoisted on the Victory at Trafalgar. Generous application of C3 X1 Superluminova on the primary lume plots with blue BGW9 accompanying make for a distinguishable array in the dark.

$499.00 USD

Setting the time and date
There are 3 positions for the crown with each designated for a different winding functionality.
  1. Unscrew the crown to the first position to manually wind the watch.
  2. Pull the crown out to the second position to change the date. Turn the crown clockwise until you reach the correct date. Refrain from changing the date between the time of 10pm to 2am.
  3. Pull the crown out to the furthest position from the watch base to set your watch's time. When the crown is in this last position, the second hand stops in order for you to accurately set the time.
After winding your watch, press the crown back into its original position at the base of the watch, then screw the crown down to ensure the watch is water-tight.

$499.00 seems on the high side compared with Elshan's Zelos brand offering the Miyota 9015. I paid $418.00 with the bracelet for my MAKO 3 with the Miyota 9015. I can only assume when there are more hands in the pie, the profit percentage needs to be raised to feed everyone.

On this episode we take a look at a soon to be released (depending on when you watch this video) diver from microbrand Axios. There Flagship model is really something special, it oozes that retro vintage diver aesthetic while also being finished with all of the modern amenities. This both looks and feels great on the wrist, so I'm really enjoying it. Let me know what you all think in the comments below, thanks guys!

The Axios Flagship is now live on our site

The work started on our second collection many months ago and we are stoked in how they have turned out. In the Flagship, we wanted something tough yet refined. With contrasting polished and brushed finishes, neatly chamfered edges that run in tune with the sapphire, coin-edge bezel, and a slim case profile with accompanying beads of rice steel bracelet, I believe we have achieved that.
