Davosa Aviator Date Watch, Swiss Made, 162.498.15, Men's, Brown

Many of today's Swiss watch brands trace their roots back to the 18th century, when watchmaking flourished as a side business during the agricultural off-season near the Swiss-French border. DAVOSA was founded in 1861 by founder Abel Frederic Hastler, crafting silver clocks in a family workshop in the Jura Mountains. His son, Paul Hastler, was also fascinated by watchmaking from an early age and naturally followed in his footsteps. In 1917, he founded "Terminages d'Horologerie," a company specializing in the production of timepieces for prestigious brands. The company was particularly involved in the production of brand-name watches in the United States, and survived the difficult times of the Great Depression and World War II, when many companies went bankrupt, thanks to its solid technical expertise and sound management. Even during the quartz crisis of the 1970s, the Hastler family continued to believe in the revival of mechanical watches and maintained their technology. Finally, in 1989, they launched their own watch brand, DAVOSA. With a proven track record in watchmaking, primarily in Europe and the United States, DAVOSA quickly became one of the must-have watch brands. Even as the brand continues to grow, DAVOSA's philosophy remains consistent: Swiss-made, meticulous attention to detail in the exterior and mechanism, and offering these meticulous products at affordable prices. These principles are the foundation of the DAVOSA brand, which is loved by watch aficionados and watch enthusiasts alike. Unusually for a watch brand today, DAVOSA remains independent and unconventional, offering a wide range of timepieces, from classic timepieces perfect for everyday wear to professional timepieces developed in collaboration with and incorporating the input of professional free divers and free skiers.
