M-1 Blackbird

The M-1 Blackbird watch is imbued with the spirit of the classic military field watch yet refined and updated with Aera’s signature, contemporary design language. Its 904L PVD stainless steel case, finished in a resilient brushed texture, is built to withstand corrosion while offering a sleek, understated look. The domed sapphire crystal and elliptical case add a sophisticated edge to its rugged design.

Beneath the sapphire crystal lies a one-piece matt black dial with high-contrast white markings and a precise railroad minute track around the dished edge. Swiss Super-LumiNova® Grade X1 is hand-applied on the hands and markers together with the track on the subdial and emits a blue glow in low light, ensuring legibility in any environment. The hand-applied numerals and Aera logo are made from solid white Globolight®, with the numerals glowing blue in low light and the logo glowing white. 

At the heart of the M-1 Blackbird is the manually wound Sellita SW216-1 movement with a 42-hour power reserve, known for its superior reliability. It is refined with an Elabore-grade finish which provides greater accuracy and a superior finish. 

The M-1 Blackbird features a two piece screw-in caseback ensuring water resistance up to 100 metres. It is engraved with key specifications and a unique serial number. The M-1 Blackbird watch comes on an integrated smooth black Italian leather strap with black stitching and a PVD 904L stainless steel buckle. In addition, you will receive a complimentary integrated grey Italian suede strap with white stitching and a PVD 904L stainless steel buckle. Both straps feature a quick release mechanism for easy switching. A handmade black pebble grain Italian leather pouch also accompanies every watch.
