Design & Finishing

The 5224R-001 distinguishes itself from the Calatrava Pilot 5524 family through its inclusion of the 24-hour scale and different dial architecture. Where the 5524 emphasizes aviation-inspired Arabic numerals, the 5224 takes a more classical approach with its hour markers and supplementary 24-hour ring.
