NB Yaeger Tango GMT NBY 08

NB Yäeger – Tango GMT

NB Yäeger Tango GMT automatic wristwatch. The Tango is another great and innovative design by Martin Braun. The Tango symbolises the artificial horizon which every airplane features. The watch works with an SW30A (based on an ETA 28922A) and thus offers two additional features. The first one is a GMT function. The inner disc, which is half black and half covered with Super Luminova, can be adjusted in an hourly rhythm. If you adjust the small black hand to a second time zone, the disc turns synchronically with the hour hand. The second function is the day and night indication. If you synchronize the disc with the current time of the day, you can easily identify if it is day time or night time at the moment – useful feature when working in windowless environments such as on some military aircraft, submarines or aircraft control rooms.

If the hour hand is situated on the illuminated side of the disc, it is day-time between 6 am and 6 pm. Off day, the hour hand moves over a dark night side. For aircraft and wristwatch enthusiasts though, the functions add a very unique looking and attractive novelty to the everyday wristwatch, which in itself is an reflection on the enthusiasms, interests or even the desired aspirations of the person who wears the watch. It has a bold, distinctive and extraordinary design, absolutely stunning, clean fresh and bright automatic chronograph. It is bold and brash using daring characters and colours, but something that is appealing attractive and striking. The watch is very masculine in design and stature. It has character and demonstrates innovation by the maker as well as the wearer of such a watch.

The design is that of an aircraft instrument, adapted to a wristwatch, where there are very large and bold numerals and hands in luminous colour with blue sweep second hand and seconds markings. Mat black dial. Day and date at the 6 position in an elongated and unique looking window.
