Inspired by avionics instruments, from the interior of an aircraft, the new Pilot GMT LE.1 Chronometer is a pure pilot watch.

An icon of craftsmanship, the GMT function gives you control of time, wherever the world and your adventures takes you.

Alongside the 12-hour scale, the GMT function is denoted by the 24-hour scale on the outer dial of the chronometer, where each hour marks a different destination, waiting to be explored.

This timepiece is limited to just 23 units and is presented in a robust stainless-steel case, with polish and satin multi-finishing. The domed silver-white dial nestles underneath the Box Sapphire crystal, present on both the front and exhibition case back. The satin and luminous indices and recessed counters mirror the dials of an aircraft and the hands are coated in Super-LumiNova to confer perfect legibility for all functions.

The LE.1 is equipped with a chronograph function allowing accurate measurement of time (up to 12 hours), and a 2nd time zone. The 4N gold coated and satin Pilot oscillating weight is a nod to the iconic Turn co-ordinator – a device that allows the pilot to control their plane.

The BR-754 GMT (Valjoux 7754 base) movement, can be admired through the sapphire exhibition case back, the components of which are decorated with Perlage, Geneva stripes and blue screws. In addition, the rotor, individually numbered, is gold 4N coated as well which underline the LE style. A self[1]winding movement that boasts 25 jewels and a 46-hour power reserve, it has been flawlessly engineered to serve as the engine of the Pilot LE.1 GMT. As is expected with all BRELLUM timepieces, the movement is officially Chronometer certified by the COSC.
