The limited special edition "Big Pilot's Watch Edition Antoine de Saint Exupéry" pays homage to the celebrated French pilot and author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, whose portrait is embossed on the gold case back. The continuous dark brown hue of dial and strap are reminiscent of the colour of his pilot’s outfit with exciting rose gold accents.
