The Naval Aviation UTC

MAT is a bit of an unknown, and certainly under appreciated quantity here in North America.  MAT stands for Mer - Air - Terre, if my extremely limited French can be counted on - Sea - Air - Land.

Based in Paris, MAT's focus is on nimble production allowing the flexibility to move quickly on ideas.

The Naval Aviation UTC comes with 2 additional straps -

The price is fair, not ridiculously (and falsely) low - $2,496.00 incl. VAT. (2080 tax excl.)

Here are the pertinents -
