An “ode to aviation in the 20th century” is how Raymond Weil describes its latest timepiece. Called the Freelancer Pilot Flyback Chronograph Limited Edition, the watch is limited to just 400 pieces and is the Swiss company’s first to feature a flyback chronograph complication.
Thewatchhas a 42mm stainless steel case coated with grey PVD, a sapphire crystal with anti-glare treatment on both sides, and a conical-shaped screw-down crown at the three o’clock position.
An exhibition case back with sapphire crystal and propeller engraving gives a view of the automatic movement within, complete with W-shaped oscillating weight and blue column wheel.

An automatic chronograph, the RW5530 movement has 56 hours of power reserve and drives the hour, minute and second hands, plus two subdials at the three and six o’clock positions.
Aviation-themed details include metal rivets on the brown leather strap, an onion-shaped crown and a textured outer dial ring intended to look like the tarmac of an airport runway. Meanwhile, the green dial colour, numerals font and design of the chronograph pushers give the watch a vintage aesthetic.
