UPGRADE TO TITANIUM

The C-03 Horizon Tropical 41mm was designed as a comfortable, lightweight, and reliable technical watch. Its grade 2 titanium case provides an excellent balance of robustness and wearing comfort, while its Gun Metal DLC finish, inspired by fighter jets, enhances its wear resistance and asserts a sober and technical style.

From military standards

operational

This version builds on the foundations designed with aeronautics professionals: a robust architecture, built to withstand pressure, vibrations, and shocks. The bidirectional bezel, mounted on ceramic balls, allows for dual use—countdown or tracking a second time zone. Smooth, precise, and easy to use, even in action.

RELIABLE MECHANICS

The C-03 Tropical Horizon 41 mm is powered by a Swiss Soprod P024 automatic movement, which is fine-tuned, carefully made reliable, and precisely decorated in our workshop. Each piece is hand-checked by our team to ensure consistent high standards. An automatic watch designed to offer more than just style: true mechanical reliability.

GLASS AND EYEWEAR

Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal

Internal anti-reflective coating

Bidirectional 60-click bezel (ceramic ball bearing system). It allows a countdown or UTC function, useful for measuring remaining time or tracking a second time zone.

DIAL

Sunray green sandwich dial, with indices filled with Super-Luminova® BGW9 for exceptional legibility day and night.

The rendering of Super-LumiNova varies according to its color.
Lighter shades allow for faster recharging and offer intense and lasting brightness. 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 meets aesthetic considerations: it is often about finding the right balance between luminous performance and visual harmony. For watches whose specifications require maximum night readability, white Super-LumiNova is generally preferred.

In this 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 classification, the Luminova BG W9 used for this version offers a light output of approximately 95%.

WATERPROOFING

Water-resistant to 100 m (10 ATM), the C-03 Horizon 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.

BRACELETS

The watch is equipped with a soft and particularly resistant FKM rubber strap.

Optionally, a titanium bracelet with an adjustable deployment clasp is offered 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 bracelet. No adjustments are made remotely.

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