New look for TCM's Aviatore MK-II, now available in a Tropical version. The new Tropical has the same technical features as its predecessors, but changes the strap, which is made of an experimental synthetic fibre, called Microgummy, with excellent resistance and impermeability qualities, as well as a pleasant rubbery effect to the touch. In appearance it resembles rubber but is much more resistant. The coloured stitching echoes some of the dial details in colour. In this case it is yellow like the central seconds hand, the profile of the date window at 6 o'clock and the model name; the back of the strap is also completely yellow. The watch is inspired by the feat of Marshal Agello and his Macchi Castoldi 72 seaplane.
