GADGET GUIDE

Breitling Super AVI Mosquito $10,250 | www.breitling.com

Super AVI, a new line from pilot watch specialists Breitling, is a celebration of aviation history with designs inspired by four classic planes of yesteryear: the North American Aviation P-51 Mustang, the Vought F4U Corsair, the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk and the de Havilland Mosquito. The Super AVI Mosquito, shown here, features a combination polished and satin-brushed black ceramic bezel and a black dial with white contrasting chronograph counters. Its red and orange elements recall the roundels and markings found on the plane dubbed the “Wooden Wonder.”

Nomos Glashütte Tangente Neomatik Platinum Grey $3,070 | www.nomos-glashuette.com

Unlike most of the Swiss old guard, Nomos Glashütte was founded in East Germany just after the fall of that big divisive wall. Its design, then, is minimalistic, and retrofuturist. The latest Neomatik is arguably the most Nomos Glashütte-y of them all. But with an automatic movement and a bidirectional winding rotor that protects the mainspring, it's as good as it looks. Post-unification, German manufacturing is still pretty great.

Longines Spirit Titanium $3,050 | www.longines.com

Well-designed and well-priced, there’s a reason why Longines has become one of the biggest watch brands in the world. Its Spirit collection was launched in 2020 to celebrate Longines' affinity with aviation – defined by a crisp, clean aesthetic for easy readability. Its newest version comes in titanium … and it’s a steal for a chronometercertified watch.

Omega Aqua Terra Beijing 2022 $6,200 | www.omegawatches.com

The 4.0 is POWERUP’s most powerful and user-friendly model yet.
