The Story of ACE PILOT and VETERAN
Like the original, ACE is crafted as a large pilot chronograph, designed for intuitive use in the cockpit. With bold hands and clear indices, it’s easy to read, even in low light. The oversized bezel and crown are operable even with gloves, making it practical for pilots in action.
New design elements include refreshed dial designs that merges vintage aesthetics with modern influences from Swedish aircraft. This includes cockpit-inspired textures on the cylinder, and a subtle silhouette of the Swedish 39 Gripen on the second hand. As a tribute to its origins, the Swedish flag is displayed below the 6 o’clock marker, and a silhouette graces the large crown. The signature ACE symbol remains, paying homage to the watch's heritage and the ace pilots who inspired it.
The Veteran features new element. It is developed together with Swedish Veterans to offer a watch inspired by and to tribute the Swedish history of peacekeeping operations. For each watch sold, a donation is made to Gula Bandet ("Yellow Ribbon"), supporting Swedish Veterans and their families.
