Van der Gang Watches launches a special edition of their Original Vlieger, the Vlieger Limit\u00e9e. Based on the design that won the ‘European Watch of the Year’ award. This jubilee edition will be limited to 25 pieces.<\/p>\n
In 2014, founder Wybe Van der Gang created his version of the pilot\u2019s watch, the Vlieger. Because we developed a\u00a0in-house manufactured case. This Vlieger is something different than u used to see. Something we especially been proud of is our case manufacturing. This in combination with the perfect balanced design, Van der Gang Watches won the 0024 \u2018Watch of the Year\u2019 award. Therefore we celebrating an exclusive jubilee edition this year, to celebrate five years of Vlieger.<\/p>\n
The Vlieger Limit\u00e9e has the stylistic characteristics of a classic aeroplane instrument. Including a warm anthracite dial and contrasting Luminova hands and numerals. On its dial you\u2019ll find a 12-hour second time zone with an AM\/PM indication, a big date, and the chronograph functions. For our movement we used an ETA 7751. In addition to our background we converted this movement in-house. The movement at the moment is an ETA 7753,\u00a0with additional in-house developed complications and a 48-hour power reserve.<\/p>\n
The 41 mm watchcase has an unusual anthracite Diamond-Like-Carbon coating which over time develops a special patina. Maybe even more remarkable, the Vlieger\u2019s sapphire glass with an unusual 2.6 mm thickness has a subtle green shade. The resulting color scheme, with its DLC-case, green sapphire glass and dark anthracite dial makes you feel like you\u2019re actually sitting inside a cockpit flying at dusk.<\/p>\n
Besides the green sapphire glass, several other subtle details distinguish the Limit\u00e9e from its predecessor. Take for example the \u2018Royal Orange\u2019 pusher at 8 o\u2019clock and it\u2019s complementary second time zone hand. The rotor, visible thanks to a see-through sapphire glass back, commemorating the Vlieger\u2019s 5-year anniversary and displaying the unique serial number. Or the luxurious NATO-strap finished with fine calf leather. As a finishing touch, the Vlieger comes in a numbered handmade wooden box designed and produced exclusively for our Limit\u00e9e edition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
