Amelia Earhart
Amelia Earhart set two of her many aviation records in this bright red Lockheed 5B Vega. In 1932 she flew it alone across the Atlantic Ocean, then flew it nonstop across the United States-both firsts for a woman.
NR7952. High-speed cabin monoplane with cantilever wings and streamlined design. On May 20-21, 1932, Amelia Earhart flew this Vega across the Atlantic Ocean becoming the first woman to fly, and only the second person to solo, the Atlantic.
Introduced in 1927, the Vega was the first product of designer Jack Northrop and Allan Loughead's Lockheed Aircraft Company. Amelia Earhart bought this 5B Vega in 1930 and called it her "Little Red Bus.
Earhart became the first woman, and the second person after Charles Lindbergh, to fly nonstop and solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
Fluorescence and phosphors create a glowing effect each time the UV-LED technology is activated.
Vaucanson timepieces have three distinctly different appearances; one in daylight, another under UV-LED illumination, and a third in the afterglow once the UV-LED deactivates.
The result of this collaboration is an innovative and patented illumination system which makes this timepiece a true fusion of technology and aesthetics. A perfect balance has been struck between advanced technologies and sophisticated, beautifully executed timepiece dials.
With the push of a button, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary timepiece, as the UV-LEDs activate, exciting the colorful fluorescents and phosphors that absorb the energy and release it as visible illumination, creating a truly soulful experience. With the touch of a button, you are not just lighting up your timepiece but your imagination and, quite possibly, inspiration.
Each timepiece comes with a 3D raised script and image of the Vega 5B. The strap has quick-release pins and a beautiful silver tone tang buckle.
Eighteen layers of proprietary aerospace UV blocking technology
Silver tone IP caseback with recessed cross-hatching and a raised waving American flag.
Now you can wear an actual piece of the authentic red fabric from the legendary Lockheed Vega 5B, flown by Amelia Earhart.
