Airman Base 22The first Airman was developed in flight, so to speak. Somewhere between Bangkok and Calcutta, a Thai Airways pilot explained to a Glycine associate exactly what airline pilots were looking for in a watch. That was in 1953. In that same year, Glycine's first Airman was launched – customized to meet the needs of frequent flyers. Glycine is now launching the 22nd generation of these legendary pilot watches.

131,14 KBAirman F104 RegulatorThe first generation of the F 104 which came on the market in 2001 already had a strong association with flying – its appearance was reminiscent of the cockpit display in an aircraft. But the F 104 is now also available as a genuine pilot watch with corresponding functions. The second time zone can be seen on the rotating bezel with its 24-hour display. However, you only recognize features of the original when you take a closer look at the Airman F 104 Regulateur. At the latest when you notice the antique crown or the flexible, conspicuous lugs, it becomes clear that this watch has to be an F 104.
As a regulator – hour, minute and second displays run separately – the watch immediately attracts attention. Experts may be baffled by the particular arrangement of the hands. Here, the 24 hours are displayed from the centre in accordance with the requirements of a pilot's watch. Classic regulators, on the other hand, show the minutes from the central position. The Airman F 104 Regulateur has the minute function placed at the top at the midnight position and the second function below at the midday position. A further eye-catching feature is the luminous hour hand with red tip.

124,66 KBLagunare Chrono L1000Besides pilot watches, diver's watches are also a flagship for Glycine. This year, the watch company from Biel is presenting a diver's watch with an integrated chronograph.
Domed sapphire glass, screwed pushers and rotating bezel give the Lagunare Chrono L1000 the typical appearance of a diver's watch. The chrono functions are the most striking characteristics of the dial. The 12-hour counter is located at the six o'clock position, the permanent second display at the nine o'clock position and the 30-minute counter at the 12 o'clock position.
The Lagunare Chrono L1000 also owes its name to its water resistance. The watch is resistant to a depth of 1,000 ft, which is around 300 meters.
