Cvstos Jetliner GT Pride of Turkey

Cvstos Challenge Jetliner GT “Pride of Turkey” Ref. STB5N (Ceramic, 2016)

The Cvstos Challenge Jetliner GT “Pride of Turkey,” reference STB5N, from 2016 is an extremely rare, avant-garde creation from the Geneva haute horlogerie manufacture Cvstos. Designed by renowned designer Sassoun Sirmakes, the Jetliner series stands for uncompromising skeletonization, inspired directly by aviation engineering. As an exclusive special edition, the “Pride of Turkey” pays tribute to the country’s riches and history with striking national symbols and a deep-black high-tech ceramic case architecture. This timepiece combines radical skeletonization with luxurious understatement and an unmistakable silhouette.

• Sculptural 53.7 x 41 mm Challenge Tonneau case in black Ceramic: Crafted from extremely scratch-resistant, matte high-tech ceramic with the distinctive Cvstos tonneau geometry. The multi-layered construction, with lateral cutouts and titanium screws, reduces the overall weight to a minimum and provides an almost weightless feel on the wrist.

• “Pride of Turkey” Special Edition with Skeleton Dial: The highly complex, multi-layered dial offers a deep look into the watch’s mechanical heart. Subtly and stylishly integrated are Turkey’s national symbols - including the iconic crescent moon and star (Ay-Yıldız) as well as delicate red accents on the minute track and the tips of the hands.

• Skeletonized Date Disc: The date numerals are printed on a transparent, laser-cut disc, making the current Date precisely legible at 6 o’clock against a red background.

• Highly luminous hands and applied indexes: Fitted with faceted, darkened hands and applied baton indexes, coated with Super-LumiNova for excellent legibility at night.

• Skeletonized in-house automatic caliber Cvstos CVS350: Powered by an in-house automatic caliber with a frequency of 28.800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and a power reserve of approx. 42 hours. The bridges and plates are elaborately matte-finished using zirconium sandblasting and black-coated.

• Exclusive Cvstos skeleton rotor: Equipped with a ball-bearing winding rotor in Titanium and tungsten, visible through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback.

• Double-sided anti-reflective domed Sapphire Crystal: A scratch-resistant, highly contoured Sapphire Crystal follows the curvature of the tonneau case and protects the dial artwork without distortion.

• Ergonomic Screw-Down Crown: Grade 5 titanium crown with a red Rubber inlay for an optimal feel and easy winding.

• Water-resistant for everyday wear (100m / 10 ATM): Offers excellent protection against water and moisture despite its lightweight skeletonized construction.

• Integrated rubber strap with titanium clasp: Flexible, anatomically shaped black rubber strap with ventilation slots, secured by an adjustable double-folding clasp in Titanium and Ceramic.

• Extremely rare collector’s edition (2016): Reference STB5N combines modern high-tech materials, radical transparency, and refined symbolism - a spectacular statement piece for connoisseurs of exclusive independent watchmaking.
