The Devil's in the detail

The dial of the Pacific 66 has a pillow cross-section - it rises up from the edge of the dial to a central plateau - which makes the dial jump out from the confines of the case. The applied indices raise up from the dial surface but, in a unique departure from the norm, the blocks are entirely machined from Superluminova BG-W9. Not only is this a beautifully three-dimensional application of the numerals, but due to the whole block being of luminous compound, it glows with an unmatched intensity.

The dial features a contrasting radial seconds sub-dial, in addition to a railroad track scale skirting the edge. This is all encapsulated in a stealth-like, tri-finish DLC black bespoke case.

Stealth-Like

The dial features hour blocks machined from solid chunks of superluminova, a contrasting radial seconds sub-dial, in addition to a railroad track scale skirting the edge.

BOX CRYSTAL

The Pacific's incredible sapphire box crystal has the most stunning refractions, you'll simply never get bored of checking the time.

Tri-Finish Case

The Pacific features our first ever tri-finish case, with polished upper and lower decks, vertically brushed sides and, as a nod to the utilitarian mechanics of the jet age, a frosted surface in each side-aperture.

Movement

Our customised Sellita SW216-1 is a manual movement with 24 jewels, running at 28,800 vibrations per hour, adjusted in three positions with a power reserve of 40+ hours.

SUPERLUMINOVA BLOCKS

The applied indices raise up from the dial surface but, in a unique departure from the norm, the blocks are entirely machined from Superluminova BG-W9.

Pacific 66

The Pacific collection is inspired by the dawn of the jet age - with each individual model paying homage to a particular era of jet travel.

The Pacific 66 is inspired by the stealth aircraft of the 60s and 70s, in particular, the SR-71 Blackbird - a reconnaissance jet aircraft - designed with a reduced cross-section to avoid radar detection. Engineered to fly at over Mach 3, the Blackbird could travel at heights of over 80,000 feet, and avoid interception by simply accelerating. This was a ground-breaking aircraft which changed the way stealth and reconnaissance airplanes were designed.

BESPOKE DESIGN

The challenge behind the Pacific was to create a watch that feels fluid, that exudes an effortless approach to a complex design. The Pacific features one unbroken compound curve, signifying flight, the high altitude smoothness and simplicity of jet travel. In contrast, the underside, much like the profile of a wing, is turbulent, a nod to airflow and the engineering of plane design.

The waveform line presented its own challenge: to keep the watch feeling thin and comfortable on the wrist - hence the smoothed scallops that have been scooped out at each corner of the caseback; visually it keeps things trim on the wrist and physically comfortable.

CLASSIC SIZING

The case of the Pacific measures 40mm in diameter, a comfortable size for most wrists, and features 20mm lugs - a classic sizing combination. To the peak of the box sapphire crystal the watch has a depth of 12mm, whilst the 47.9mm lug-to-lug sizing complements the case perfectly.
