Hemel Air Defense — 40mm Hand-Wound Pilot Chronograph, Piano-Black Dial (ST19)
About this watch
An open, legible take on the vintage hand-wound chronograph. The Air Defense clears the dial down to essentials so its oversized subdials can breathe — piano-black lacquer, Super-LumiNova C3, piston pushers and a double-signed buckle on flexible Italian leather. Powered by the hand-wound Seagull ST19 column-wheel caliber.
40mm polished 316L steel, 45-hour reserve, 100m water resistance, ceramic 120-click bezel, exhibition caseback. New, boxed and warrantied — free US shipping.
Questions & answers
What movement powers the Air Defense?
It is driven by the Seagull ST19, a hand-wound mechanical chronograph you wind by the crown, offering the tactile ritual of a classic pilot chronograph.
Can I wear it in water?
With 100m of water resistance it handles rain, splashes, hand-washing and swimming. We suggest avoiding hot showers, saunas and diving.

At 40mm it wears true to size with balanced vintage-pilot proportions that suit most wrists.

It features a deep piano-black lacquered dial with ivory accents for high contrast and depth, set beneath a double-domed AR-coated sapphire crystal on an Italian leather strap.
