TORGOEN was founded by a group of aviation enthusiasts to provide similar enthusiasts with watches of uncompromising quality. In the cockpit, things happen quickly... a pilot must always be thinking ahead of the airplane. Multi- tasking is part of survival. Reliable instruments. Rapid readings, dependant on precise and clear markings and indexes. Day and night. Ergonomically efficient controls. All of these same standards are part of another cluster of pilot's instruments: the Torgoen line of watches.
Attainment of aviation standards comes as part of two major steps, Preparation and Production. At Torgoen, preparation includes precision engineering, careful attention to details of every component, and the best choice of materials. During and after production, Torgoen watches and components pass the most stringent quality control procedures.
Experience the confidence that comes with using a fine instrument - a TORGOEN watch.

The world is divided into 24 time zones.
For easy reference in communications, a
letter of the alphabet has been assigned
to each time zone (less "I" and "O"). The
"clock" at Greenwich, England is used as
the standard clock for international reference
in communications, military, maritime and
other activities that cross time zones.
This clock's letter is Z, pronounced ZULU
in the phonetic alphabet.
Zulu Time Line has 2 distinct models. One uses
a turning internal bezel to mark a different
time zone (dual time) while the other uses an
additional hand completing a full circle once
every 24 hours that can also denote a different
time zone including Zulu Time (i.e. GMT).
Torgoen's line of Flight Computer Watches can be used to calculate time, distance and speed equations. They also can perform a variety of calculations from currency conversions to multiplication and division problems. With the watch you can calculate any conversion of linear nature with a constant ratio such as ounces to grams, kilograms to pounds, miles to kilometers etc.
T7 models by Torgoen feature the most advanced mechanism manufactured by Ronda Switzerland with a second time zone displayed as a second watch with two normal hands. This second watch can be set to any time zone. The T7 models have a rotating slide rule that can be used as a flight computer (E6B) useful for flight planning or as a calculator for division and multiplication or conversions between units with linear relationship.
The Torgoen Dive Watch collection is water resistant for either 10 ATM (330ft) or 20 ATM (660ft).
