Terra Cielo Mare Toponi Officer draws inspiration from those watches compliant to a specification called Type A-7, set by the US Army during WW2, which featured a dial angled at 50° clockwise, to make them easy to wear on top of the leather flying suit and easy to read without the pilot having to take his hands off the cloche. The case back is transparent and is protected by a couvette, a lid troopers used to hide their war orders.
The case, in steel and marine bronze, is 43mm wide and houses the hand wound ETA Unitas 6498, a well known and much appreciated caliber by watch enthusiasts.
