Flying Officer 12h AUTOMATIC

Flying Officer 12h AUTOMATIC

The FLYING OFFICER 12H AUTOMATIK is powered by a Valjoux 7753 automatic chronograph movement and has a classic Tricompax dial design. This watch is the ideal alternative to the legendary Flying Officer with 24 hours dial and the limited and now sold out manual winding model Flying Officer 12H.

Tricompax describes the arrangement of subdials at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock. This symmetrical arrangement applies among watch connoisseurs as aesthetically balanced and was first presented by Universal Genève in the 40s of the last century. Guinand´s model 155 from the 60th of last century introduced the same arrangement of subdials in a modern form.

We manufacture this chronograph for the 152th anniversary of Guinand with automatic movement.
