Aviation-Inspired Design

Torgoen watches are known for designs influenced by the instruments and functional requirements of aviation.

The T05101 reflects this tradition through its large, legible dial, 42mm stainless steel case, and 24-hour time indication.

Rather than relying on elaborate decoration, the design emphasizes readability and practical functions.

The result is a watch with a purposeful, instrument-inspired appearance that is equally appropriate for aviation enthusiasts and everyday wear.

24-Hour Zulu Time Function

One of the most interesting features of this Torgoen is its 24-hour Zulu time hand.

In aviation, Zulu time refers to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the international time standard used for flight planning, weather reporting, and many other aviation operations.

The additional 24-hour hand provides a convenient reference for time expressed on a 24-hour scale.

This is particularly useful for pilots, travelers, and individuals who regularly work with international time references.

The Zulu time feature also adds visual interest to the dial while reinforcing the watch's aviation identity.

Black Pilot-Style Dial

The black dial is designed around clear, easily recognizable time indications.

Its combination of Arabic numerals and non-numeric markers provides a distinctive pilot-watch appearance, while the baton hands offer a clean, functional design.

The center sweep seconds hand allows the wearer to observe seconds at a glance, and the date window adds an everyday convenience.

The dial remains in D1 – As New condition.

42mm Stainless Steel Case

The watch is housed in a 42mm round stainless steel case, measured without the crown.

This diameter provides a substantial presence on the wrist without approaching the oversized dimensions of some contemporary pilot watches.

The screw-back case construction contributes to the practical, durable design.

The case remains in C1 – As New condition.

Quartz Movement

The T05101 is powered by a quartz movement, offering straightforward operation and convenient timekeeping.

Quartz technology eliminates the need for routine manual winding and makes the watch particularly practical for occasional or everyday use.

The movement is rated M1 – As New condition.

New Old Stock with Box & Booklets

A particularly appealing aspect of this watch is its New Old Stock (NOS) presentation.

Unlike an ordinary pre-owned wristwatch, this example has been preserved in As New condition and is accompanied by its presentation materials.

The included box, instruction booklet, and warranty booklet add to its desirability for collectors who appreciate complete watch presentations.
