Your Military Unit and Airain
Combined Arms Operating Like Clockwork
Strength, precision, and endurance are three key characteristics of Airain. Itās what led to our status as the preferred supplier of the iconic Type 20 pilot watch for ALAT, the French Armyās airborne division from the 1950s into the 1990s.
Now, you can celebrate your unitās history by issuing a beautiful, bespoke timepiece. Whether itās for a special occasion such as an anniversary or for complementing your unitās attire.

Demanding Circumstances, Swiss Sophistication
At high altitudes (Type 20) or hundreds of metres below sea level (Sous-Marine), Airainās timepieces are designed with a mission: to offer precise timekeeping in demanding circumstances. Our watches are your reliable source of time in situations where there is a lot at stake.
Whether itās on the dial, the case back or the strap, our models are ideally suited to incorporate and mirror your unitās crests, colours, and other style elements.
Creating a one-off timepiece in limited supply turns your watch into a highly prized collectorsā item that is a testament to your unitās specialism.

Striking Showcases
Bond Re-Established: ALAT and Airain
Mission: Reconnect w. ALAT. Status: Accomplished.
Since the revival of Airain in 2020, weāve successfully completed one of our most import missions: reconquer our position around the wrists of ALATās pilots.
Together with the Escadrille d’HĆ©licoptĆØres de Reconnaissance et d’Attaque (EHRA) nĀ°3, the third Reconnaisance and Attack Helicopter Squadron of the French army, we have created a truly unique timepiece that honours EHRA 3ās signature fonts and colours.
Founded on 1 July 1968, the EHRA 3 squadron will celebrate its 55th anniversary in 2023. To mark the occasion, Airain will issue 25 personalised watches. Engraved on the back will be the pilotsā individual flight license number, to further personalise the pieces.
