Inspired by Marvin’s historic 1955 collaboration with KLM and the legendary Flying Dutchman collection, this automatic watch brings the elegance of aviation’s golden age to the modern wrist. Its propeller-inspired sunburst dial, streamlined 41mm case, luminous gold-tone details, sapphire crystal, and full stainless-steel bracelet combine vintage character with dependable everyday performance.

Inspired by the 1955 Flying Dutchman
This timepiece draws inspiration from the historic watches created through Marvin’s collaboration with KLM in the 1950s. Originally designed for pilots and cabin crews, the Flying Dutchman became an enduring symbol of Marvin’s aviation heritage. This modern interpretation brings its adventurous spirit back to the wrist.
A Dial That Comes Alive in the Light
Radiating outward from the center, the vintage sunburst pattern evokes the motion of an aircraft propeller. As the wrist moves, alternating highlights and shadows create a dynamic sense of speed and depth—capturing the energy of flight within the dial.
Streamlined Elegance in Gold Tone
From the dial and hands to the case and bracelet, the full gold-tone finish pays tribute to the glamour of 1950s aviation. A polished, streamlined case recalls the elegant curves of an aircraft fuselage, while luminous hands and hour markers provide clear reading from day to night.
