THE HILTS MIDNIGHT POINTER
The Hilts Heritage Pointer is a contemporary take on one of the most influential icons of horology: The A-11 “navigation watch.”
Its midnight black dial evokes the purposeful simplicity of its military predecessor, while subtle modern refinements bring new depth and versatility. The addition of a date pointer hand introduces a layer of functional sophistication, honoring the A-11’s utilitarian roots while enhancing practicality for today’s wearer.
Timeless Heritage, Refined
Every element blends traditional craftsmanship with modern durability, precision, and elegance.
Contemporary meets classic
A refined companion for those who pursue adventure with sophistication.
Tradition. Elevated
Steeped in heritage, redefined by contemporary design and meticulous craftsmanship.
The Midnight Pointer. A seamless fusion of heritage and modernity, distinguished by its elegantly executed date pointer hand.
Timeless design, refined
The case is crafted from durable 316L marine-grade stainless steel, showcasing a striking interplay of finishes. Brushed silver lugs offer a refined contrast to the mirror-polished surfaces along the case front, sides, and back.
Protecting the dial is a single-domed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides, delivering exceptional clarity and legibility.
Sapphire Case Back with Bespoke Movement
At the heart of the FLIA beats a meticulously customized SW221 automatic movement. Through the screw-down exhibition case back, the movement can be admired in all its intricacy, featuring a bespoke rotor engraved with the HILTS logo and signature argyle motif. Striking Sellita-blue screws add a subtle yet distinctive flourish, highlighting exceptional attention to detail.
With 100 meters (328 feet) of water resistance, the Midnight Pointer delivers reliable performance while exuding elegance, making it a refined companion for every moment — from daily wear to bold adventures.
Fine grained finish on rich black dial
The dial features a matte, fine-grained finish on a rich black surface, lending subtle texture and refined depth.
Mirror-polished, nickel-plated silver Dauphine-style hands, inset with Super-LumiNova, sweep across the dial with precision. The long-tip arrow second hand, with a polished silver top, red midsection, and Super-LumiNova tip, adds a distinctive flourish.
A date pointer hand, a rare complication in modern watch design, enhances both functionality and character. Every element reflects meticulous craftsmanship, seamlessly blending style and practicality.
Lumicast Super-LumiNova markers
The dial is equipped with Lumicast Super-LumiNova® hour markers.
Unlike traditional printed or painted lume, each marker is individually molded from solid Super-LumiNova, resulting in a pronounced three-dimensional form with crisp edges and precise definition.
Because they are cast from pure luminous material rather than simply coated, these markers hold a greater volume of lume, delivering brighter illumination and a longer-lasting glow in low-light conditions.
