The total number of supporters is approaching 1,300, which shows how popular they are. In particular, the fact that we designed a Blue Impulse watch that can be used on a daily basis is one of the reasons why we receive so many instructions. This time, the second model produced to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Air Self-Defense Force is The Sky Pilot Chronograph Japanese Watch is inspired by the Blue Impulse that soars freely through the sky. This model uses a mechanism called an aviation rotary slide rule that was actually used by airline pilots back in the day. Although it is a bit complicated for those who are not used to it, it has a finish that gives you a sense of the romance of a rotary slide rule, as you can use the exact same mechanism as when it was first made. The body of the logo is designed at the standard position of 60, making it a piece where you can feel the subtle attention to detail everywhere.

Challenge for the Creation A special model created with the theme of Blue Impulse’s slogan, “Challenge for the Creation.” We have been fascinated and encouraged by the images of these people who have created so much history. With the slogan “Challenge to Creation”, Blue Impulse will continue to seek flights that give “dreams and excitement” to as many people as possible. Resonating with Blue Impulse’s attitude of “not being satisfied with the status quo, working hard at daily training and continuing to create new
performance,” our manufacturing philosophy is to create innovative and new products. This time, in addition to the past standard colors of navy and white, we have added black, which is more suitable for everyday use. We also took on a new challenge in designing new colors.

The in-dial at 6 o’clock is designed with the fuselage of Blue Impulse’s current model, “T-4.” ・Custom-made second hand inspired by the aircraft A blue impulse second hand with a custom-made mold. The tip of the needle is inspired by the Blue Impulse aircraft and is painted bright red. ・Elegant with calm emblem colors The official Blue Impulse emblem is placed at the 12 o’clock position. By using a single color, it blends into the design, creates a sense of luxury, and creates a design that is easy to use on a daily basis. ・Luminous Hands The hour and minute hands are treated with phosphorescence to ensure high visibility even at night or in dark places. Lumibrite is a luminous mechanism that absorbs and stores light from sunlight and lighting in a short period of time, and emits light even in the dark. ・Chronograph (1/5 center chronograph) There are no troublesome operations such as mode switching that are found in watches with complicated functions, and it is equipped with a stopwatch function that can be used immediately in an emergency. This is a full-fledged chronograph model with a sporty feel that focuses on operability. The movement uses Seiko EPSON (YM12) The use of highly accurate and reliable
Japanese-made movements reflects our manufacturing philosophy of ensuring long-lasting use. In the unlikely event that a movement malfunction occurs, it is easy to secure parts and you can rest assured about the after-sales service. It is a wonderful movement that can be said to be the crystallization of Japanese technology. In addition, it is a watch where you can see a glimpse of the attention to detail.

In the past, many of the items with Blue Impulse designs were not suitable for everyday use, and even fans of the brand said that they found it difficult to use them on a regular basis. Therefore, we designed it so that it can be used on a daily basis while retaining the worldview and coolness of Blue Impulse. My favorite blue impulse shines casually on the things I wear every day, the things I use every day, and the things I see often. I aim to create such items every day. ・ Comes with special free benefits exclusive to Makuake!
