Swiss engineer and inventor Ernst Benz first became well known for developing delicate instrumentation and manufacturing timepiece and industrial jewels. Manufactured in Switzerland, these large format, self-winding instruments are renowned for their accuracy, durability and legibility. Surpassing quality standards typical of equipment designed for professional aviators, they are in demand by
The History :
mechanical watch aficionados
As an aviator and gliding enthusiast, Benz was distinctly aware of the need for accurate and instantly legible instruments while airborne. He came to develop an innovative aircraft instrument chronograph based on World War II aviator military models. This design, the Benz Micro Aircraft Chronograph, became standard equipment for many single-engine planes, military trainers, jets and sailplanes, first in Europe and then throughout the world. Following the success of the Micro Aircraft Chronograph, Benz received many requests from fellow pilots to produce a large format wristwatch that was accurate and reliable. Benz began to produce a series of 47mm, self-winding chronograph timepieces based on the design of his Aircraft Chronograph. Drawing creative inspiration from a grand era in the history of aviation timekeepers, his signature massive timepieces were initially introduced as the Great Circle Chronograph and Great Circle Sports Watch. Benz named his Great Circle chronograph ChronoScope, meaning time viewer, which Benz felt would be more accurate than chronograph, which means time writer. The aesthetics of these watches were as highly regarded as their exceptional technical quality and superior precision. Produced in limited quantities, Benz’s automatic watches soon became a favorite timepiece among pilots, yachtsman and racecar drivers in Europe and North America. Ernst Benz exemplifies their slogan, Precision Instruments For Timekeeping, continuing to develop and manufacture timepieces made in the time-honored tradition of aviation timekeepers and the fine art of watchmaking.
around the world.

The Great Circle collection is designed, developed and produced in Switzerland, a land forever associated with precision, creativity and talented artisans dedicated to maintaining their unrivalled watchmaking traditions. Driven by the passion of detail and the school of precision, characteristic of the watchmaker’s art, the designers and craftsmen of Ernst Benz united their talents

and experience to develop and manufacture exclusively mechanical timepieces.
An Ernst Benz Great Circle Automatic watch is a Precision Instrument for Timekeeping, meeting the strictest standards in terms of quality and reliability. Endowed with a resolutely sporting vocation, these timepieces are intended for a wide range of users looking for a high-performance wrist instrument, whatever the circumstances, even in the toughest conditions on land, in the air or at sea. Functional and timeless, Ernst Benz has optimized legibility and precision, which has translated into a unique collection of technically exceptional timepieces recalling the aviator watches from the 1940’s, from which they are inspired. Primarily governed by sturdiness, functionality and readability, the brand now presents its exclusive timepieces, which are produced to exacting criteria and without compromise. Taking advantage of the experience gained in manufacturing aviation instruments, Ernst Benz designed the original massive 47mm Great Circle ChronoScope automatic chronograph for professional aviators with exceptional legibility, functionality and durability as his objective. The ChronoSport Day/Date automatic model followed, along with the ChronoLunar – a complete calendar chronograph indicating the date, day, month, phases of the moon and a 24-hour display. Then, realizing that a strong demand existed for a version with reduced dimensions, the company began production of a parallel, traditionally sized 40mm Great Circle series. Symbolizing a new generation of Great Circle timepieces and exemplifying the creativity of its designers, Ernst Benz introduced the new Contemporary Series, a modern reinterpretation of the original Great Circle. Inspired by aeronautical design, the propeller-like hands and concentric machined pattern of the dial feature elaborate details and aesthetic refinement while detracting nothing from its excellent legibility.

of watchmaking.
In response to requests due to the success of the Contemporary series, Benz introduced the ChronoFlite GMT. A dual time-zone model, featuring a fourth hand and fitted with a 24 hour-Universal Time rotating bezel for simple indication of a second time zone all on a single dial. The ChronoJewel Collection followed, combing the art of watchmaking and the talent of gem setting. Adorned with bezels magnificently set with brilliant-cut diamonds, this new version of the Contemporary series inspired new elaborate editions of the Traditional models. The newest addition to the ChronoSport and ChronoJewel series is a feminized collection of 36mm watches, featuring exquisite mother-of-pearl dials and majestic diamond bezels. This smaller reinterpretation of the Great Circle watch was developed to satisfy growing requests from female watch connoisseurs. The choice of exceptional materials and the tremendous care devoted to each individual watch give a Great Circle timepiece an extraordinary appeal. The legibility, color variations, depth of the sub-dials and size of the hour-markers and hands achieve absolute clarity, which has become one of the most distinguishing features of the Great Circle Collection. As one would expect from an instrument panel, every last detail of the dial has been devised to enable optimal readability of information at a glance. Even the nighttime luminosity is an essential factor, achieved with particularly effective luminescent materials. The robust construction of a Great Circle timepiece involves exceptional technical specifications, such as its sturdy case, which is constructed of pure 316L stainless steel. Its characteristic rounded bezel is fitted with a thick, domed sapphire glass to protect its generously sized dial, along with its distinctive oversized hands. An exclusive double O-ring stainless steel crown provides the watch with water resistance to 5atm/50m without the necessity of a treaded system. The unique attraction of a mechanical movement is in the sensation experienced by viewing the intricate, constantly revolving gears and the delicate motion of the continually oscillating balance wheel. For mechanical watch connoisseurs and admirers of traditional watchmaking, all Great Circle timepieces feature a sapphire case-back for those eager to explore the mysteries of horology. In choosing the most reliable mechanical movements, which are then perfected by the watchmakers at Ernst Benz, the owner of a Great Circle timepiece is assured quality and reliability for many generations.

The original Great Circle timepiece, the ChronoScope, honors the tradition of the authentic aviation chronographs and famous wrist timers worn by pilots in the 1940’s. As legibility was one of the most important criteria of those timepieces, their dials were designed to resemble those of the era’s aviation instruments while their diameter allowed for large numerals and oversized hands for instant readability.

A highly functional timekeeper and also a visual experience, a chronograph is a complicated watch, endowed with an additional mechanism enabling it to calculate the duration of an event. Featuring the renowned automatic Valjoux 7750, considered to be one of the world’s finest self-winding chronograph movements, these timepieces measure elapsed time in seconds, minutes and hours, while also displaying the day and date. Exemplifying sturdiness and extreme precision, the ChronoScope was initially created in response to the demands Benz received from fellow aviators for a reliable and easily legible chronograph. It has evolved over the last decade since its release, both technically and aesthetically, while maintaining its unique styling and the character of the original model.
