VOLT - HUD - MIRAGE

Each version of this watch pays homage to a specific universe, between military influences and the spirit of travel.

VOLT– Inspired by professional equipment and its striking visual markings, it takes up the graphic aesthetic of inscriptions like the famous"Remove before flight". Flashy, ultra-readable, impossible to ignore.

HUD– A direct nod to the head-up displays in airplane cockpits. Instant readability, sharp contrast, and that iconic green that's instantly recognizable.

MIRAGE– Conceived as an echo of the terrain. Sandy colors, arid atmosphere, crushing heat: it embodies the environment of external missions, raw and real.

A UNIQUE DESIGN

An important detail: the addition of two side bumpers. This is the first time Akrone has significantly reinforced the crown protection. The goal is clear: to withstand impacts without compromise. This isn't gratuitous design, it's functional.

Finally, we've developed a scope with a more pronounced grip than ever before. You can handle it easily, with gloves or in difficult conditions. Practical, robust, reliable—just as it should be.

PRIORITY OBJECTIVE

Legibility was a priority. Each layer of the dial corresponds to a time zone—up to three in total. All hands have different shapes to be instantly identifiable, even in the dark. Luminova is present everywhere it counts, including on the main indexes, which are applied to maximize visibility.

GLASS AND EYEWEAR

Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal

3 layers of internal anti-reflective coating

Bidirectional 60-click bezel (ceramic ball bearing system). It provides a UTC function, useful for tracking a second time zone. Combined with the C-03's True GMT function, it is thus possible to track up to three time zones simultaneously.

MOVEMENT

Citizen Group's Miyota 9075 automatic mechanism, a true True GMT movement

42 hours of power reserve

Additional adjustment carried out by our watchmakers for average precision on 6 positions between -10/+10 seconds per day

WATERPROOFING

Water-resistant to 100 m (10 ATM), the C-03 GMT features a push-in crown that provides effective protection when closed. Easy to operate, it guarantees the case's water resistance and protects the movement from any intrusion of water, humidity, or external particles.

To avoid any damage due to water infiltration,use while swimming should be limited to watches with screw-down crowns, such as those designed for diving. Push-in crowns, used on aviation watches, can open accidentally, by getting caught on clothing for example. And in water, an opening crown is almost guaranteed to lead to water infiltration. Prevention is better than cure.

BRACELET

Black FKM rubber strap, very flexible and ultra-resistant

Quick pumps for easy installation

Optionally, you can find other bracelets in the "Akrone" tab then "accessories" on our site

There is no forged carbon bracelet for this model

GMT DIAL WITH SUPER‑LUMINOVA®

Super‑LumiNova® 2271 (mint green tint)

The rendering of Super-LumiNova varies depending on its color.
Lighter shades allow for faster charging and provide intense, long-lasting luminosity. Darker shades, on the other hand, produce a more subtle effect with a more moderate light intensity. Proper light exposure is essential to fully activate the luminescence.

The choice of color also responds to aesthetic considerations: it is often a question of finding the right balance between luminous performance and visual harmony. For watches whose specifications require maximum nighttime readability, white Super-LumiNova is generally preferred.

In this case, if we compare the intensity of the Luminova C-03, currently the most powerful on the market and therefore equivalent to 100% according to the LumiNova classification, the custom green Luminova used for this version offers a luminous efficiency of approximately 25%.
