LEGIBLE DAY AND NIGHT

The C-03 Horizon Austral gun takes the collection's fundamentals and pushes nighttime legibility to a new level. Its sandwich dial incorporates a significantly increased dose of Super-LumiNova BGW9 compared to the basic versions, with Super-LumiNova on all indexes, for more intense and durable light emission. Its redesigned black and white hands ensure immediate readability regardless of lighting conditions.

The package includes:

Dual-slot carrying case
Warranty card
Watch with FKM strap

Options, such as the titanium strap, are added to the package.
The watch still comes with its original FKM strap.

Derived from military standards

PERFECT FOR EVERY DAY

It was designed with the rigor of our military projects: a black dial, white markers, time that can be read instantly, nothing superfluous. Except we don't save it for special occasions. It's lightweight thanks to titanium, easy to live with, and you forget it's on your wrist from morning to night. A real field watch, one that you wear every day without thinking

RELIABLE MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE

The C-03 Horizon features the same Swiss Soprod P024 automatic movement as the entire C-03 collection — chosen for its proven reliability and consistency. Each caliber is regulated in our workshop in Nantes, then carefully inspected and adjusted to ensure precise and lasting operation. A workshop approach that makes a difference on every watch.

DIAL

Blue sandwich dial, with indexes filled with Super-Luminova® BGW9 for exceptional legibility day and night.

The rendering of Super-Luminova varies depending on its color.
Lighter shades allow for faster recharging and offer intense and lasting luminosity. Darker shades, on the other hand, produce a more discreet effect, with more moderate light intensity. Good exposure to light is essential to fully activate the luminescence.

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

In the present case, if we compare the intensity of Luminova C-03, currently the most powerful on the market and therefore equivalent to 100% according to the LumiNova ranking, the Luminova BG W9 used for this version offers a luminous efficiency of approximately 95%.

WATERPROOFING

Water Resistance: 100 m / 10 ATM

The C-03 is water resistant to 100 m thanks to a push-in crown designed to ensure a clean and reliable seal of the case.

Easy to handle, it guarantees the water resistance of the case and protects the movement from any intrusion of water, humidity, or external particles.

To ensure this water resistance, the crown must be fully pushed against the case. There should never be a visible gap between the crown and the case. If a gap appears, it means the crown is improperly closed.

Any crown that is improperly closed or manipulated underwater can lead to infiltration.

BRACELETS

The watch comes with a flexible and particularly durable FKM rubber strap.

As an option, a titanium strap with an adjustable deployment clasp is available at the preferential price of €85 incl. VAT (instead of €130 incl. VAT if ordered separately), as well as a selection of straps available in the "Straps and Accessories" section.

A video tutorial is provided for adjusting the titanium strap. No remote adjustments are made.

Please note that our straps are only available in one size, suitable for wrist circumferences from 16 to 19.5 cm.
