Swiss pilot watch powered by an authentic Felsa 692 movement from 1948. A rare collector’s timepiece for lovers of historic mechanical horology.

Some watches are inspired by history.
Others truly contain it.

Inside the Dubois & Fils DBF009-01 Pilot Automatic beats an authentic Felsa 692 calibre dating back to 1948 — a discontinued Swiss movement from the golden age of post-war horology.

Developed by Felsa AG in Grenchen, the Bidynator system became one of the pioneering bidirectional automatic winding technologies in Swiss watchmaking history. Today, these preserved historic calibres have become exceptionally rare.

This is not a vintage-style recreation, but genuine mechanical heritage still alive on the wrist — created for enthusiasts who appreciate rarity, authenticity and the emotional charm of historic Swiss mechanics.
