Akrone C-03: Tested and approved in extreme conditions!
You may not know this, but our watches regularly undergo real-world testing: on board airplanes, helicopters, submarines, or in the field. The goal? To prove their long-term reliability and robustness.
At Akrone, we have a clear vision for the technical design of our watches. Durability, precision, and robustness are at the heart of our approach. That's why we're constantly improving our models. The next generations of the C-02, C-03, and C-04 will incorporate the latest technical advances to offer the best value for money available today.
C-03: Flight tested on the Pilatus PC-21
During the latest testing of the French Air Force's future fighters, we entrusted a C-03 to the pilots for a new battery of flight tests. It was off to the Pilatus PC-21, the Air Force's new training aircraft for fighter crews.
The result? A new demonstration of robustness. The C-03 brilliantly faced this extreme environment, proving once again its reliability and resistance to the most demanding conditions.
