Aviator Chronograph Black 4H98310 - Limited

Write a review

When we think German, we think of precision engineering and quality. And this is precisely what we have here today from Aristo. Aristo Uhren was founded in 1907 by Julius Epple in Pforzheim, a jewelry and watch-making city in black forest, Germany. The company has been producing timepieces for the last three generations. Throughout its time, the case producer and watchmaker untiringly produce truly functional timepieces. We wrote an in-depth article on the brand if you are interested to learn more. In summary, no-nonsense with clean and robust designs typically sums up the Pforzheim mason.

Aristo Aviator Chronograph Black 4H98310 - Limited

For 2022, Aristo is starting the year off strong with their new chronograph series that pulls from the brand’s longstanding archives. Introducing the Aviator Chronograph Black Ref. 4H98310. Aristo  pulls inspiration from Teutonic chronographs that can be traced back to the post-war period and early days of several German watch manufacturers’ history like the Sinn’s103A and Guinand’s Chronosport 351 chronographs.

To kick things off, the Aviator Chronograph Black Ref. 4H98310 ticks a Swiss Made automatic caliber, Sellita SW500, operating at 28,800 BPH (4 Hertz) with hacking and hand winding capabilities. It has 25 jewels with a power reserve of 40 hours. The workhorse Chronograph caliber is concealed behind a  screw-down case-back made in 316L stainless steel.

The perfect size for a vintage themed watch

Now, to the case. As the name implies, the watch measures a good size of 40mm, a lug-to-lug size of 47mm, a thickness of 14.7mm, and a lug width of 20mm. This is probably as thin a chronograph as it can get as the Sellita SW500 movement is already 7.9mm. Nevertheless, the overall proportion will wears oh-so-well on most wrists. Two screw-down chrono pushers flank a screw-down crown, adding to a 100m water-resistance of the watch. A unique touch would be the full black pilot bezel with 60 minutes marking, and rotates at 60-click unidirectionally. This black bezel creates a beautiful two-tone contrast from its full polished stainless steel case, and adds on the tool watch aesthetic in tandem with the pointy lugs.

The Aristo Chronograph is inspired by instrument clusters found in fighter planes. And that means it is designed with legibility in mind. Underneath the sapphire crystal belies legible Arabic numerals surrounded by a 60 minute markers on the edge of the dial. This design philosophy is found in most chronographs in the 80s when functionality is all that matters. A good amount of SuperLuminova is applied to the dial and sword-hands for operations in the dark. A day/date window at 3 o'clock is a good addition without cluttering up the dial.

Minimalistic dial with Teutonic appeal

As with many other Aristo models, the Aviator Chronograph has a relatively huge dial opening. That means this watch is all dial. As a result, it elevates a more prominent visual appeal while aiding legibility - just like a proper military Flieger is supposed to. In addition to the no-nonsense look, the Aviator comes with red chronograph hands for the seconds, minute and hour counters. These bright red hands not only freshen up the Chronograph with a sporty touch, and also aids the wearer to have precise chrono time tracking altogether.

The Aviator Chronograph Black Ref. 4H98310 comes on a classic black leather strap with contrast white stitching at the sides, accentuating the tool-watch theme here.

Glows green in the dark with SuperLumoinova

Only to be released in limited quantities, the Aviator Chronograph Black Ref. 4H98310 is an incredibly attractive watch–one that feels very much like an honest contemporary interpretation of  vintage chrono classics from Germany. And given Aristo value-for-dollar pricing, there’s a lot of value in this package.
