Enjoyed the Airain Type 20 these past few days
Absolutely a pleasure to wear, and one I enjoy as much as any other. Airain just released another new dial variation (they seem to have the game down from the bigger more well known brands), a blue anniversary and it looks great. Mine is the limited edition Vert Militaire. I'll need to get some new shots to show the actual dial color (definitely my hardest piece to correctly capture).

Very sweet watch.
A coupe of details that stand out to me are the old school steel bezel with engraved numerals ad the large crown. I like both a lot. Also the lume shot is impressive. I agree with you on the new blue dial chronograph. It's a winner. M4
My highest praise is to say I enjoy wearing it as much as an AP, or PF, or others.
And it gives me extra satisfaction to know how inexpensive it is in comparison!
Please see the new blue dial version. I very well might add it.
I am not big on owning a virtually identical watch in a different color, but I just might make an exception for this one. Photo from Airain website: ...
Great looking Airain Type 20 Vert Militaire.
Plus that camo strap really looks perfect on it all the vibes of a vintage watch with all the benefits of a modern watch what's not to love. Marc
A superb looking watch !
I also noticed their new blue dial version : very tempting I have to say !!
Great watch, great choice Michael! I own quite a number of those ....
like the miliaire vert, the furtivite, the seconde/seconde, the "ACE", the Type 21 (my favorite) etc. but also: a vintage Airain Type 20. And, being a "rusty watch guy", I like this one the most. Cheers, HSTE ...
Thanks Sir. Your rusty edition is unbeatable!
And I know you well as an Airain enthusiast. Will you go for the new blue one as well? I find it quite attractive.
Thanks my Friend. I thoroughly enjoy it.
Over the years, I have owned some pieces that are absolutely fabulous to hold in the hands. To admire the details, take a few photos. But then on the wrist, they end up falling flat. So this criteria is the key ingredient for how I have retooled my small ...
That’s finally the important bit 👍🏻
That it sparks joy - different people might get it from different aspects but I also only consider watches I would really wear and do so subsequently 😊
