The Type 21 sports a glossy black dial with Grade X1 ‘Old Radium’ lume, proudly showcasing the Airain crown logo and ‘Type 21’ marking.

The Type 20's Sibling
The Airain Type 21 stands as a tribute to a 1960s vintage model unearthed at a Sotheby's auction in 2021. Rooted in the original 1950s designs, both the Type 21 and its sibling, the Type 20, faithfully embody the era's aesthetics and functionalities.

The Movement
The Airain Type 21 is powered by the caliber AM2, a hand-wound column wheel chronograph movement developed in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. This movement features a flyback function, allowing pilots to quickly reset the chronograph and start a new timing event without delay. It boasts a power reserve of 63 hours and includes 24 jewels with Incabloc shock protection, ensuring durability and precision.
