Originally introduced in 1940, the BENRUS Sky-Chief was developed as a purpose-built pilot's chronograph for cockpit precision. Featuring a distinctive domed crystal and slim bezel that created a porthole effect, it offered exceptional legibility in flight. Its tri-compax layout and aeronautical minute graduation allowed pilots to perform accurate navigation and cruise calculations.

Now reissued for a new generation, the Sky-Chief stays true to its aviation roots while integrating modern performance. Housed in a 36mm stainless steel case with a double-domed sapphire crystal, it is powered by the Swiss-made ETA 2894 automatic chronograph movement with a 42-hour power reserve. Finished with Super-LumiNova details and 100 metres of water resistance, the Sky-Chief collection brings heritage pilot design into everyday wear.
