If you grew up with your eyes glued to the sky every Republic Day, waiting for that roaring flypast — you’re not alone. For many of us, those moments sparked a lifelong fascination with India’s engineering marvels and the stories of courage behind them.
It’s this spirit — equal parts nostalgia and pride — that inspired Axell to create something truly special: Tejas, a limited-edition timepiece that’s more than just a watch. It’s a salute to India’s aviation legacy — and a reminder of what happens when dreams take flight.
Where Dreams Meet Steel and Sky
India’s journey to build its first indigenous fighter jet was not a quick sprint but a test of endurance. The LCA Tejas took over two decades of research, countless prototypes, and thousands of brilliant minds to become a reality.
And when it did, it gave us more than an aircraft — it gave us confidence that India could match the world’s best, on its own terms.
The Tejas jet is small but mighty — the lightest and most agile in its class, built for precision dogfights and quick maneuvers. Its carbon-composite frame keeps it lighter than traditional jets, while its modern avionics help pilots trust their instruments even in the most demanding missions.
From the Cockpit to Your Wrist
When we created the Tejas Watch, we wanted it to feel like more than a symbol. It had to feel like the same engineering DNA — precision, performance, and a certain quiet pride that doesn’t shout but always shows up when it matters.
Each detail in the Tejas Collection is there for a reason:
-
The double-domed sapphire crystal is built to resist scratches and glare — the same clarity pilots need at high altitudes.
-
The dial’s painted Arabic numerals are bold and crisp, inspired by the cockpit dials that stay clear even in turbulence.
-
The Japanese lume oil gives the markers a steady glow in low light — just like a pilot’s instruments must do when the sky is pitch black.
-
And the rotating bezel? A nod to the precision controls inside a fighter jet’s cockpit, where every degree matters.
Inside, the watch runs on the Seiko VK63 Mecaquartz — combining the reliability of quartz with the feel of a mechanical chronograph. Every push of the pusher feels like a small salute to the mechanical craft that makes a machine trustworthy at 40,000 feet.
Design That Carries a Story
We didn’t stop at engineering details. On the back, you’ll find something no generic watch can match — an engraved blueprint of the LCA Tejas, etched into steel. It’s subtle enough to stay personal, clear enough to remind you why you chose this watch in the first place.
At 9 o’clock, a tiny tricolor emblem sits proudly — not flashy, not loud, but unmistakably ours. It’s a quiet nod to a flag that flies higher than any machine ever will.
Not for the Many — Only for the Few
The Tejas fighter jet is not mass-produced. And neither is the Tejas watch. We’ve made just 100 pieces — because we know not everyone will get it.
This is for the ones who still look up when they hear a roar in the sky. For engineers who believe in building things that last. For collectors who know that some stories are worth more when they’re rare.
A Small Reminder, Every Day
A watch can be just a tool. But sometimes, it’s more — a story you wear, a promise you carry, a spark that reminds you to keep looking up.
When you wear the Tejas, you carry a piece of India’s engineering pride on your wrist — and a quiet reminder that self-reliance is a mindset, not just a headline.
Your Salute to the Sky
To mark this story, here’s a small gift for those who choose to fly first: use code AXELL10 as your nod to the skies.
Only 100 exist. Once they’re gone, they’re gone — like that jet overhead that you almost missed if you didn’t look up in time.
