While the Spirit Chronograph comes in a few colorways (including a retro-evocative matte black), the blue-dial
falsi vacheron-constantin orologi variant does the best job of straddling two eras. The overarching design brings to mind crackled leather A-2 bomber jackets, near translucent patinated typewriter paper, and the smell of jet fuel. The blue dial, however, with its pronounced sunray effect, careens in the other direction, coming across as something entirely modern.
