Founded in 1968, Air Zermatt is one of the most high-level aerial rescue operations in the world, with a team of 75 pilots, paramedics, technicians and support staff, a fleet of 11 helicopters, and a training school.
Hamilton equipped aviators with the most capable wristwatches as part of the company’s DNA, while celebrating Air Zermatt’s pilots as among the most skilled in the world.
“The easy-going and extremely personal nature of our relationship with Hamilton has remained since our first contact 10 years ago. It is these characteristics that ensure respect and trust can be built in the long term, and from which friendships then arise. Air Zermatt is proud of the partnership with Hamilton,” says Pilot and Air Zermatt CEO Gerold Biner.
The new Air Zermatt limited edition draws its colours from the rescue team’s famous livery of red helicopters stamped with the glacier-blue Air Zermatt logo. Against a black dial, the all-important chronograph elements are highlighted with subdials in a blue gradient, and the second’s hand stands out in bright red. Markings on the bezel calculator are also in glacier blue.
