Type 20 'Up in the Air'
'Up in the Air' is the Type 20 reworked with the artist seconde/seconde/, limited to 88 pieces: the matt black dial keeps its beige lume, but the subdials carry pixelated 8-bit clouds and the left one shows the tip of the Eiffel Tower. The case is 39 mm of steel and the movement the hand-wound AM2 column-wheel flyback chronograph.

Specifications
Collector photographs
Taken by people who own this reference: their light, their wear, their patina. Not the maker’s photography. Where the maker hasn’t given us a photograph, one of these is shown as the main image above, always credited. A few are the Atlas’s own, and say so.
If this watch is in your collection, yours would be the first. A photograph on the wrist shows what a studio image cannot: scale, wear, and how the piece has actually aged.
How to get one
The maker's page for this exact reference, the same page this catalogue's specifications are sourced from. It was a limited edition of 88, so the page may no longer offer it for sale.
Airain publishes its current collection and its retailer or service network on its own site. Start there for what is actually in production; this catalogue records references whether or not they are still sold.
Check the reference number against the maker's own page before buying anywhere else. It is the one detail that is hard to fake and easy to verify, and it is what the specifications on this page are keyed to.
