Preorder price is $499.99
Regular price is $529.99
These watches are being shipped to The Microbrand Store from Hemel, and they anticipate receiving them around July 15th.
This release is a cobranded collaboration with Hemel and based around the Hemel Airfoil series. These vintage military themed chronos feature a classic black and white panda dial, (actually with a very subtle hint of cream to add to the vintage vibe,) full reverse lume in Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 blue, and my favorite hand-wound movement (with swan neck regulator) you can really enjoy with an exhibition case back. Of course we're also including some goodies from The Microbrand Store - our top grain nubuck leather watch travel case, our spring bar tool, and our microfiber cleaning cloth.
Specs:
- Reference: Hemel Airfoil Full Lume BGW9 Panda Exclusive Edition.
- Exclusive Edition: Only available from The Microbrand Store™.
- Complications: Mechanical column wheel chronograph with swan neck regulator.
- Color Scheme: Traditional black and white panda dial (actually the barest hint of cream for a more vintage vibe) with matching black bezel. The dial is fully lumed, as are all hands and bezel markings, all containing BGW9, which glows blue.
