The Blancpain Air Command Special Series AC01 is a stunning example of a chronograph steeped in rich history and tradition. This replica captures the essence of the legendary timepiece, blending the vintage style of the 1950s with Blancpain’s renowned watchmaking expertise.

The watch case is crafted from 316L stainless steel with a 42.5mm diameter. Its sleek, polished lugs and case mirror the authentic design, ensuring an exceptional finish.

At the heart of the timepiece lies the Dan Dong 7750 chronograph movement, modified to the F388B caliber. Every detail is meticulously replicated from the original, guaranteeing precise timekeeping.

The bezel offers a silent, bidirectional rotation, identical to the original. It features a polished ceramic surface, with luminous markings including the distinctive diamond shape at the 12 o’clock position.

The dial showcases a twin sub-dial layout, with the 3 o’clock sub-dial for 30-minute tracking and the 9 o’clock for 12-hour tracking. Large numerals and syringe-style hands, both luminescent, offer clarity and elegance. The tachymeter and chronograph scales are neatly placed along the dial’s edge.

Adding to its vintage allure, the original polished buckle pairs seamlessly with a retro brown leather strap, completing the nostalgic design.
