In the world of vintage watches, the pilot chronograph has always held a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts. IXDAO’s latest pilot chronograph draws inspiration from the legendary Hanhart Flieger Chronograph—but rather than being a direct replica, it boldly reimagines the classic with a more modern, personalized approach, breathing new life into vintage aesthetics.
✈️ A Nod to the Classics, but Never Bound by Tradition
The Hanhart pilot watch is renowned for its readability, balanced layout, and military heritage. IXDAO preserves these core aesthetics while introducing bolder design choices:
- 39mm case diameter and 11.80mm thickness for comfortable wear;
- Dial layout inspired by cockpit instruments;
- Red pusher details that honor aviation tradition while offering a fresh twist;
- Domed sapphire crystal that adds vintage charm with modern durability.
This is a truly “wearable” pilot chronograph—perfect for both daily use and collection.
⚙️ Precision Core: Seiko VK64 Meca-Quartz Movement
The IXDAO Pilot Chronograph is powered by Japan’s Seiko VK64 movement, combining quartz precision with the sweeping motion of a mechanical chronograph. You get the reliability of quartz without sacrificing the mechanical heartbeat that enthusiasts love. No need to wind frequently, yet still enjoy that beloved ticking rhythm.
🎨 Four Distinct Colorways: Vintage, with a Twist
Instead of sticking to traditional black or military green dials, IXDAO explores unique color stories inspired by aviation heritage and design aesthetics. The result? Four bold and original colorways:
🔲 Black & White
Classic cockpit-inspired layout with red accents. Functional, bold, and timeless.
💙 Blue & Yellow
Deep navy and soft yellow contrast beautifully—vintage flair with a modern pop, perfect with denim or sunlit outfits.
🌿 Green Dial
A bright green main dial paired with black subdials—somewhere between military and aviation, giving it a distinctive edge.
⚪ White Dial
Clean white base with black chronograph subdials and red details—professional, crisp, and versatile.
Each colorway showcases IXDAO’s originality, breaking free from the stereotype that "vintage = brown."
