ETA 2836 (Fortis cal. UW-31C) inside the Day-Date, and an ETA Valjoux 7750 (Fortis Cal. UW-50C)
Tested, worn and co-developed by the best pilots in the world! The PC-7 TEAM watches are more than just a watch for us. We have been proud to equip the pilots of the Swiss Air Force for 15 years now. Flying for the PC-7 TEAM is an additional task for the pilots who normally protect Swiss airspace on F/A 18 fighter jets. While the focus there is clearly on speed, formation flying is about precision, dynamics and elegance. We have implemented these characteristics in the latest version. The watch is limited to 300 pieces, is chronometer-certified and comes with a second strap including a change tool.

The PC-7 TEAM.
Representative of the Swiss Air Force for more than 30 years. Only the best pilots are accepted. With their aircraft, a Pilatus PC-7, they advertise and represent our Swiss values in national and international air shows: dynamics, elegance and precision!

Ariel Adams of aBlogtoWatch reviews the Fortis Aeromaster PC-7 Team Limited Edition watches, shown here in both a Day-Date and Chronograph reference (Refs. 655.10.55 and 656.10.55, respectively). Each watch is limited to 300 pieces and celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Swiss Air Force’s PC-7 flying team, which is comprised of elite pilots who fly Pilatus PC-7 propeller stunt planes. As such, the watches sport the team colors of mostly blue with a hint of red, and a special logo on the dials. Each Aeromaster comes in a 42mm-wide brushed stainless steel case (53mm lug-to-lug and 17mm thick) with a flat sapphire crystal and water resistance to 200 meters. Inside each of the watches is a Swiss-Made COSC Chronometer-certified automatic movement – an ETA 2836 (Fortis cal. UW-31C) inside the Day-Date, and an ETA Valjoux 7750 (Fortis Cal. UW-50C) inside the Chronograph. Each comes with both a metal bracelet and a custom-fitted strap. Pricing is 2450 CHF for the Day-Date reference, and 4450 CHF for the Chronograph reference.
