SORTIE Grey fume dial

A Tribute to the Human Behind the Machine

Aviation-inspired clarity paired with contemporary dial refinement.

When the idea of Sortie was conceived nearly five years ago, it would have been easy to attach it to a legendary aircraft — Rafale, Sukhoi, MIG-21, Mirage, Harrier, De Havilland. Each has shaped history.

But the Ajwain Sortie was never meant to ride on borrowed glory.

Sortie is not a tribute to the aircraft.
It is a tribute to the pilot.

To the airman whose discipline, judgment, and courage determine the outcome — long before the machine does.

Designed Around Transition

The Sortie represents transition.

It is an analog mechanical watch — yet its indices are designed in the form of seven-segment LED displays. A deliberate reference to the shift from analog cockpit instrumentation to digital systems.

It bridges eras.

The high double-curved sapphire crystal rises above the dial, reminiscent of a fighter jet canopy — aerodynamic, protective, and purposeful.

The grey fumé dial transitions from lighter tones at the center to darker edges, creating depth without compromising clarity.

Modern Execution

The case is available in brushed and polished stainless steel or black PVD, allowing each collector to choose a distinct personality.

Every finish enhances the character of the watch without overshadowing its core philosophy.

Sortie is not about spectacle — it is about intent.

As with all Ajwain timepieces, refinement is ongoing. Subtle improvements may occur as we continue to elevate the product.

As India's most loved watch microbrand, we are continuously trying to improve the product, small changes may be expected.
