C03 GMT
ready for action
Born from our collaborations with the military, the C-03 collection embodies all the expertise acquired in the aeronautical field. Designed according to specifications developed for professional units, this new, slimmer and even more readable version is ready to accompany you on your next adventures, even the most extreme.
Instrument
The C-03 is a continuation of our watchmaking adventure, driven by the experience accumulated during our projects around aviation watches. Thanks to our collaboration with ALAT and our various projects carried out for military and civil aviation, we have been able to refine our approach by taking into account the requirements of the field and the constraints specific to the aeronautical world.
The idea behind the C-03 is simple: to create a sleek, reliable watch, designed to support those who operate in challenging environments where every detail counts.
Two versions have been developed to meet different needs:
• C-03 Horizon : a titanium case, available in 39 or 41 mm
• C-03 GMT : a carbon case, in 42 mm format and a “true GMT” complication.
automatic
The French watchmaking traditionEvery movement of the C-03 is adjusted in-house, in our workshop, to six positions. We follow a precise protocol, refined over time, to ensure stability and precision. These adjustments are designed to withstand the strong accelerations encountered in flight.
• Soprod P024 (Swiss Made) – used on the C-03 Horizon, set to –4/+6 s/day
• Miyota 9075 TRUE GMT (Japan) – used on the C-03 GMT, set to –10/+10 s/day
• Dynamic tests – validated in real conditions, under high constraints
• Specific finishes – decorated oscillating weight, adjusted internally
techniques
The C-03 was designed to deliver performance and reliability, even in the most demanding environments. Every detail has been carefully considered to ensure fast and intuitive reading: reworked hands, enlarged numerals, refined dial... The watch benefits from a Swiss Made Super-LumiNova treatment, reflecting the color codes of night flight instruments. It combines robustness and lightness, while being specially designed to withstand the vibrations and mechanical constraints encountered in flight.
Key points:
• Grade 2 titanium or carbon case – light and strong
• Sapphire crystal with triple anti-reflective treatment – perfect readability, without reflections
• Swiss Made Super-LumiNova dial – high luminous performance
• Reinforced needles – designed to withstand vibrations and mechanical stress
Our WORKSHOP
C-03 watches are assembled, adjusted, and inspected in our Nantes workshop. Each piece is assembled to order by the Akrone team and then undergoes a series of rigorous in-house tests.
• Assembly, adjustment and quality control carried out in the workshop
• Checks : simulator, chronocomparator, water resistance to 10 bar
• Delivery within 15 working days , excluding pre-orders
