Hemel Airfoil - Black (Swan Neck Regulator)
We also sell two full reverse lume versions of the Hemel Airfoil. Why We Love This Watch There are many reasons to love the 42mm Hemel Airfoil Black chronograph, but these four in particular made this a simply must-have for our inventory: A gorgeous exhibition case back, showcasing a decorated hand-wound movement, with blued screws. With no rotor in the way to block the view, this can make observing the chronograph in action quite a treat. The movement itself has some interesting history as it is directly descended from the Venus 175, a famous Swiss column-wheel chronograph used in Swiss watches such as the Breitling Chronomat. Seagull acquired the plans and the original Venus equipment to manufacture the Venus 175, and went on to produce the improved version you see here. A swan neck regulator, for those who fancy the idea of more easily regulating a watch themselves for even greater accuracy. We'll share more information on this for the curious in our video review.
