The aggregate with the very advanced power reserve gauge function is featured by a 7750 Valjoux self-winding chronograph movement.

The caseback has engraved details the show the Swiss Airforce emblem and the limited edition number of the individual timepiece. Through the sapphire crystal, the inside mechanic is visible and the oscillating weight with Victorinox Swiss Army logo engraving underlines the detail. Embossed cross and shield emblem on the crown. Water-resistance is 100 meters.
