Cvstos Jetliner GT Pride of Turkey

Cvstos Challenge Jetliner GT “Pride of Turkey” Ref. STB5N

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” model pays tribute to the country's riches and history with distinctive 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 characteristic Cvstos tonneau geometry. The multi-layered construction with lateral cutouts and titanium screws reduces the overall weight to a minimum and ensures an almost weightless feel on the wrist.

• “Pride of Turkey” Special Edition with Skeleton Dial: The highly complex, multi-layered dial offers a deep view into the mechanical heart of the watch. 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 against a red background at 6 o'clock.

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

• Skeletonized Cvstos in-house automatic caliber 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 finely matt-finished using zirconium sandblasting and coated in black.

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

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

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

• Everyday water resistance (100m / 10 ATM): Provides excellent protection against water and moisture despite the lightweight skeleton construction.

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

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