![]() |
One of the world’s most important helicopters continues to live at the heart of one of the world’s most exclusive timepieces.
Meccaniche Veloci’s exclusive Only One Collection made its official debut at Baselworld 2012. Each watch in this amazing “one of a kind” collection is constructed using actual components from the world of speed, like the fiberglass fairing from a racing motorcycle, or the magnesium flap from a supersonic fighter jet.
Now, Meccaniche Veloci is honoring one of the world’s most significant helicopters with the exclusive Swiss-made Only One Air Huey. The dial of this exotic creation has been fabricated from the airframe of an actual Huey helicopter. These extraordinary helicopters were used extensively during the Vietnam War for medical evacuation and were responsible for saving 1000’s of lives.

Only a single example of the Only One Air Huey will be produced for each watch in the Quattro Valvole Collection. Each watch is totally unique, so the Quattro Valvole 48 Four Strokes Only One, Quattro Valvole 44 Chronograph, and the Quattro Valvole 42 Power Reserve each have their own one-of-a kind dial.
The construction of these unique timepieces has been rigorously documented and certified by Meccaniche Veloci. One lucky person will not only get an engineering masterpiece, they will also get a priceless treasure that is a genuine piece of history. For the serious collector, the Meccaniche Veloci “Only One” Air – Helicopter represents the opportunity of a lifetime.
The Huey made its first flight on October 20, 1956. Now, almost 56 years later, this celebrated workhorse will make its final flight to land on some lucky watch aficionado’s wrist. If you would like to become the owner of this extraordinary timepiece, contact your authorized Meccaniche Veloci dealer immediately.
The Huey became famous for the role it played in rescuing 100 U.S. soldiers stranded in the Vietnam jungle in 1967. With this amazing watch on your wrist, you could be the famous one this time.

Meccaniche Veloci New Quattro Valvole 48 CLASSIC
The New Quattro Valvole 48 CLASSIC is as Close as You’re Going to Get to Wearing a Ferrari on Your Wrist
The Italians have always known a thing or two about speed and performance. Ferrari. Lamborghini. Ducati. These illustrious Italian brands are practically the definition of performance. Now, there’s a new high performance Italian on the scene: Meccaniche Veloci.
This luxury watchmaker found the inspiration for their latest collection in their own country’s racing heritage.
The new Meccaniche Veloci Quattro Valvole, introduced at Baselworld 2011, is a masterpiece of Italian engineering. This spectacular watch takes its name from the four-valve racing engines that powered the classic 308 GTB/GTS Quattrovalvole – named for the four-valve cylinder heads that the Maranello-based automaker pioneered.
The Quattro Valvole case is created using the same hardening process used in the production of high performance engines. A solid aluminum or titanium billet is turned on a lathe in order to produce four cavities in which four separate movements are placed.
Each of these precise ETA 2671 mechanical automatic movements is completely independent. The result is a watch that can monitor four different time zones at once, or be used to track a variety of different racing or yachting events.
The Quattro Valvole is as big and bold as the racing engines its unique design evokes. The massive 48mm case is available in an aircraft grade 7075 aluminum alloy, as well as titanium, carbon fiber, carboceramic material and even solid gold encrusted with diamonds.
This case is equipped with a titanium crown for each of the four independent movements. Only the finest materials are used for straps, which are attached to the case by four titanium screws. The watch features a sapphire, anti-reflective crystal and is water resistant to a depth of 10 meters. You can wear the watch with either a traditional tongue buckle or a special titanium deployment clasp and the unique four time zone dial is available in several colors to suit your own personal taste.
This bold, masculine watch isn’t for everybody, but neither is a Ferrari. If you are interested in acquiring one of these spectacular watches for yourself, contact your Meccaniche Veloci dealer immediately and reserve your Quattro Valvole today.
