Introducing: the Isotope Flyway – A Journey in Time

Time never stands still. Like the great migrations of birds, it moves with purpose, crossing borders and spanning continents.

Inspired by the Flyways that birds carve across the skies, the Isotope Flyway is a tribute to movement, design, and the balance between sportiness and classic elegance.

The Flyway Terra Maris captures the stunning harmony between land, sea, and air, blending natural elements into a timepiece that’s both beautiful and meaningful. The pyramids dial, featuring blue heated hands and bronze indexes, creates a striking contrast with the bronze and brown degrade, reflecting the transition from earth to sky. The blued Isotope logo and the blue heat-treated hands stand out against the dial, symbolizing the seamless connection between nature’s forces. The name 'Terra Maris'—Latin for 'land and sea'- was chosen to represent this balance, inspired by the coastal beauty of Cascais, where the land meets the ocean. The design reflects the region’s colors in a harmonious gradient, perfectly complementing the Flyway's adventurous character. This limited edition was conceptualized with the collaboration of Miguel Seabra, who blended his passion for design with his love of the natural world.

Designed for those who appreciate both resilience and refinement, the Flyway’s 36mm case takes the shape of outstretched wings, soaring over a Clous de Paris texture. This intricate finish, first seen in 18th-century watchmaking and popularized in the 1930s, creates a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, adding depth and character to the design.

Complementing the case is an elegantly crafted stainless steel bracelet, designed specifically for the Flyway. While seamlessly integrated with the case, the Flyway is not an integrated design, allowing you to easily swap straps and personalize the watch to match your mood and style.

Beneath its very unique hyperbolic paraboloid sapphire crystal, shaped like a Pringle or a saddle, light moves freely, eliminating distortion and ensuring clear legibility from any angle.

Each Flyway dial explores texture and craftsmanship, available in bold colours and intricate finishes, from rich enamel to stamped pyramids that echo the bezel and inner ring, from exclusive Lacrima guilloché patterns to the ethereal Air’ dials, where perforations create a luminous display of Super-LumiNova in the dark.

Depending on the version, the hands, crafted in heat-blued steel, gunmetal, or silver, complete the composition with a strong yet refined presence.

The Flyway Terra Maris is now available and limited to 100 pieces.
