March 2021 brings with it a change of the seasons, as well as promising trends in the fight against the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic. With warmer weather and hope on the horizon, the team at aBlogtoWatch is looking ahead to travel and adventures to come, and for the March monthly giveaway, we’re offering up a unique flying companion for future travels. One lucky community member will win this limited-edition Bausele Royal Australian Air Force Centenary 2021 – Aviator watch, combining diver and pilot elements with a Down Under flair and a tangible piece of Australian military history.
The 42mm 316L stainless steel case of the Bausele Royal Australian Air Force Centenary 2021 – Aviator takes on a supercompressor diver style, with distinctive twin crowns and an aggressive two-tone ion-plated finish. The main body of the brushed stainless steel case is elemental, with long tapering athletic lugs and a narrow smooth bezel. The prominent case flange along the 3 o’clock side injects an element of modern personality with a black ion-plated finish flanked by a pair of black ion-plated screw-down crowns. Each crown features a nod to the proud legacy of the Royal Australian Air Force, celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2021. The 2 o’clock crown is topped with the signature RAAF tricolor kangaroo roundel, while the 4 o’clock crown features a top in sandy military tan. The solid caseback continues the tribute to 100 years of the RAAF, including a special engraving sporting the Commonwealth military broad arrow emblem, but the centerpiece of the display is a fuselage segment from FA/18A Hornet number A21-01, the first FA/18A fighter jet built and flown in Australia. Even with this historic segment onboard, the case manages a robust 200 meters of water resistance.
The dial of the Bausele Royal Australian Air Force Centenary 2021 – Aviator is finished in a white lumed “night diver” style, ensuring maximum visibility both underwater and in the cockpit. The broad sword-style hands are highly legible, while the two-tone internal rotating bezel allows for quick and accurate timing of events at a moment’s notice. The “100” emblem at 6 o’clock further emphasizes this watch’s connection to the legacy of the RAAF.
Bausele powers the Royal Australian Air Force Centenary 2021 – Aviator with a Swiss-made automatic movement featuring bi-directional winding, a Nivaflex mainspring and a solid 44-hour power reserve at a 28,800 bph beat rate. The watch is finished with a rugged waterproof strap in black fabric made of recycled PET plastic and fitted with a signed deployant clasp. Only 500 examples of the Bausele Royal Australian Air Force Centenary 2021 – Aviator will be made, at an MSRP of $1,200 AUD. To learn more, visit bausele.com/pages/raaf .
