World War 1 Ace conquers time Travel
In 1917, Dieudonne Costes fought head-to-head against lead-spitting enemy planes over the Balkans. Ten years later, the
crack French pilot faced a different kind of challenge: navigating the pitch black skies over the South Atlantic. Behind the stick
of his aircraft, he soared across the time zones from Senegal to Brazil to complete the world's first non-stop flight across the
South Atlantic.
Inspired by his record breaking feat and the world's earliest aviator timepieces, Stauer is proud to introduce the Midnight
Flyboy 1916 Watch. The first multi-function wristwatches forever changed air combat, allowing pilots to time complicated
maneuvers and coordinate attacks. The Midnight Flyboy features a spectacular face, set inside a case fused in rose gold.
Three tachymeters and a movable bezel to measure speed and ascent and the chronograph function allows you to measure
elapsed time and stop on a dime. Interior complications mark elapsed minutes and hours as well as display a 24-hour clock.

The Chronograph Reset is used when the Chronograph Second hand (Part A) does not return to the “0” zero position when
resetting it. It is also used after the battery has been replaced.

(NOTE: Do not push the crown to the normal position while you are setting the Chronograph Second Hand. If you do
this, the Chronograph Second Hand will stop and the watch will recognize wherever it stops to be the new zero
position.)
