In their latest collaboration with the Royal Australian Air Force, after being the watch of the RAAF centenary in 2021, Australian luxury watch brand Bausele has pulled out all the stops.
The timepiece is based on their legendary Ocean Moon model and comes complete with a blue sunray dial and two crowns to control both the hands and the inner bi-directional bezel of the watch. With a limited run of only 200 pieces, this is a Swiss-made watch like only Bausele could make.
Bausele’s With their latest collaboration, Bausele aims to give consumers a versatile timepiece that is also highly collectible. The dial features the new Air Force logo.
Christophe Hoppe, founder of Australia’s luxury watch brand Bausele, is a firm supporter of the men and women who keep the public safe. If you know the brand, you’ve seen the MIL-SPEC releases that were made in close conjunction with the United States Armed Forces. Now, Hoppe turns his attention closer to home in support of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
This is not the first collaboration Bausele has done with the RAAF and it will not be the last. This limited edition timepiece is similar to the fan-favorite Ocean Moon V but with a bit of added exclusivity and flair.
“We are thrilled to announce our latest limited edition timepiece, a celebration of our extraordinary collaboration with the Royal Australian Air Force” says Hoppe. “With only 200 units available, this watch featuring the new Air Force logo represents a clean and sophisticated design that will undoubtedly captivate collectors.”
With a motto like “the makers of time,” Bausele believes in living out your passion, by way of making time for the things most important to you. Bausele wants your timepiece to be a friendly companion on those adventures versus a hindrance or worry. To that end, this Royal Australian timepiece employs Swiss-made quality, 316L stainless steel, and 200m of water resistance to put your mind at ease.
For this limited edition Royal Australian release, Bausele utilizes the durable Sellita SW200 Swiss automatic movement. To further increase durability to handle whatever your active your lifestyle throws at it, Bausele utilizes a Faraday cage shock system and anti-magnetic construction within the timepiece. A versatile 42mm width makes this the perfect watch for most any wrist. Like its Ocean Moon cousin, the Royal Australian timepiece features 2 screw-down crowns – the second of which controls an inner bi-directional count-up bezel for diving.
The features of the watch are complimented by a gorgeous blue sunray-style sandwich dial. The large hands, indices, and digits are outfitted with Super-Luminova to allow for timekeeping even at night. Both the dial and the case back are adorned with the Royal Australian Air Force name and kangaroo logo. To complete the timepiece, Bausele utilizes a unique band that uses high-performance recycled PET plastic to resemble the texture of sand on the beach. Reinforced and designed to last, the band solidifies the aesthetic of the watch.
With the Bausele x Royal Australian Air Force timepiece, Bausele brings Aussie spirit and combines it with Swiss-made dependability. Perhaps this watch works so well because it embraces that Aussie + Swiss formula that Bausele was founded upon. But with this watch limited to just 200 pieces, you’d better get yours before they sell out!
