D2 Delta Series

The latest in our line of D2 aviator watches, the Delta series, features three distinct sizes and a wide range of features and capabilities. Aviators and aviatrixes alike will love the different stylings of each Delta, from the smaller-sized S model with a rose gold bezel, and the midsize model with a silver titanium bezel and leather band. The largest model—PX—adds a Pulse Ox sensor for checking your body’s oxygen saturation level at altitude. All three models incorporate GPS navigation capability with dynamic color mapping, NEXRAD weather, automatic flight logging, multisport activities and more.
