1926. THREE GREAT FEATS OF SPANISH AVIATION.

In 1926, Spanish aviation performed three extraordinary feats: the flight of the Elcano Squadron to the Philippines, the crossing of the Plus Ultra to Argentina and the expedition of the Atlantic Patrol along the African coast. Three adventures that defied the limits of their time and marked the history of our aviation. One hundred years later, Colomer & Sons pays tribute to its protagonists and their spirit of courage, exploration and self-improvement.

BUILT TO GO FURTHER.

Made of 316L stainless steel, the cases of the three watches in the Grandes Vuelos collection combine resistance, precision and careful finishes to accompany them for years. Their sapphire crystals protect the dials and their 10 ATM water-resistance provides safety in daily use. A robust and reliable construction, designed to live up to the three great feats of Spanish aviation that they represent.

A STORY RECORDED FOREVER.

The history of the Great Spanish Flights also continues on the back of each watch. Its steel back covers incorporate commemorative engravings dedicated to the three great deeds of 1926 and their protagonists, accompanied by the identification of the Centenary of the Great Spanish Flights 1926–2026. Each piece also incorporates its individual numbering, reinforcing the exclusive and collectible nature of these limited editions to only 300 units per model.

PREPARED FOR THE NIGHT.

When the light disappears, the three watches in the Grand Flights collection keep their legibility intact. Their indexes and hands incorporate Super-LumiNova BGW9 luminescent material, allowing the time to be clearly displayed in low light conditions. A functional detail inspired by the instrumental nature of aviation watches and a new way to discover their dials when night falls.

TWO WAYS TO WEAR THE PLUS ULTRA.

The three watches in the Grand Flights collection are delivered with a steel bracelet and a second leather strap, in navy blue for the Plus Ultra, brown for the Elcano and black for the Atlántida. Equipped with a custom folding clasp and easy release system, they allow you to change styles easily and without tools. Two configurations that combine the solidity of steel with the elegance of leather, evoking the spirit of classic aviation watches.

MAKE THEM EVEN MORE YOURS.

A collection created to remember three extraordinary feats can also tell your own story. The three Grand Flights watches offer the possibility of incorporating a personalized engraving on the side of the case, making each piece an even more special memory. A name, initials or an important date can be engraved forever along with the tribute to the great protagonists of our aviation.
