Air League Special – Pilot Chronograph with Vintage Spirit

The Hemel Air League Special presents a refined take on classic pilot chronographs, combining heritage pilot watch design with modern mechanical craftsmanship. Developed with insights from enthusiast communities, this chronograph is powered by the Seagull ST19 hand‑winding movement with an optional swan‑neck regulator, delivering mechanical precision, satisfying tactile actuation, and a 45‑hour power reserve prized by mechanical watch enthusiasts. 

Classic Chronograph Dial – Legible and Functional

Under a double‑domed sapphire crystal with anti‑reflective coating, the Air League’s matte black dial is treated with Super‑Luminova C3, ensuring outstanding legibility in low light. Its clean dial layout and lumed markers evoke mid‑century aviation instruments, while the 120‑click rotating ceramic bezel adds functional timing versatility and subtle visual contrast. 

Balanced Dimensions and Everyday Wearability

Housed in a 316L stainless steel case with a comfortable 40 mm diameter and ~13.4 mm thickness, the Air League is sized for everyday wear. The exhibition screw‑down caseback showcases the finely finished ST19 movement, and the signed crown and push‑pull chronograph pushers reinforce its purposeful pilot character. With 100 meters water resistance, it’s built to withstand daily missions without needless fuss. 

Heritage Meets Function – A Timeless Microbrand Chronograph

By combining traditional chronograph movement craftsmanship with classic aviation design cues, the Air League Special delivers a timeless pilot chronograph that appeals to enthusiasts and everyday wearers alike. Its blend of mechanical integrity, legibility, and durable construction makes it a standout piece in the Hemel lineup and a compelling choice for anyone seeking a mechanically honest, vintage‑inspired chronograph.
