01 DIAL
The dial takes its inspiration from the instrument panel of the plane with clear, bold hands and numerals as well as detailed and intricate markers. The black dial is made of enamel to create the warm beauty that echoes the feel and texture of the materials used in a 1920’s aircraft.
The “R” emblem on the tail of Savoia S-21 is displayed at three o’clock position, with the same coloring as the plane’s tail.
02 HAND
A specially created seconds hand reflects the plane’s propeller.
03 STRAP
The watches are offered in a special presentation box with an alternative strap. One strap is in black with stitching in red, white and green, and the other is in vibrant red color of the fuselage of Savoia S-21 with the same colored stitching.
04 MOVEMENT
The watch is powered by Seiko’s most advanced chronograph caliber, 8R48, which measures elapsed time up to 12 hours and has a power reserve of 45 hours. In addition to a vertical clutch and a column wheel, it incorporates Seiko’s unique three-pointed hammer and a heart-shaped cam which ensure the perfect and instant synchronization of the hands when the chronograph is reset.
The beauty of the movement is clearly visible through the sapphire crystal case back, as is the Porco Rosso symbol. On the case back itself is engraved, in Italian, a famous quote from the film, “A pig that does not fly is just a pig.”
* In an actual product, the case back direction might be different from the photograph.
