Debaufre just announced their new Aircraft-8 Chronograph, and I have to admit. I want one. Vaguely B&R inspired, the square black case with the red hands on the sub dials just speaks to me. Add to that the 44mm case, sapphire glass, and the fact it’s available in either PVD black or stainless, and I’m sold.
Here are the specs from the website:
- Stainless Steel Case
- Swiss movement (ETA Cal. 251.262)
- 44mm
- Sapphire crystal glass
- Black leather strap
Starting with a pre-order price of $640, it’s a pretty good deal too. Better hurry: after the introductory launch, they’ll go up to $740.










Hell, this is a direct copy of B&R, and If anyone wanted such a thing, they should just drop buy chinatown and get them for US$5.
