About This Watch
An aviation watch is characterized by its large and highly legible dial, allowing a pilot to be able to quickly and easily read time in both good and bad weather, day or night. With our Pilot watch, we modernize the aviation watch and create a highly functional and sporty timepiece.
- Robust. The stainless steel case with its patented Case Suspension System is made to protect the movement from the forces found in an air-race airplane.
- Luxurious. Although extremely tough and streamlined to perfection, this watch is crafted with passion and flawless precision.
- Comfortable. Our patented Case Suspension System means you can walk (or fly) in style and comfort. For even more comfort on the wrist, you can upgrade your leather strap with the patented clasp featuring an integrated Micro-Adjustment System. Click for more here…
- Bold. The large and highly legible dial stands out with luminescent hands and sharp lines.
- Yours. You don’t have to sit in the lap of luxury to put something luxurious on your wrist. Our direct-to-consumer approach means you'll get the best quality at a fraction of the cost of any comparable Swiss timepiece.

Swiss Made Automatic movementAn Automatic, also called self-winding watch, is a mechanical watch in which the mainspring is wound automatically as a result of the natural motion of the wearer's arm, to provide energy to run the watch, making manual winding unnecessary. All our Automatic movements are manufactured in Switzerland.

Sapphire crystalA sapphire crystal or “glass” is a very hard, transparent material made of crystallizing pure aluminium oxide at extremely high temperatures. Sapphire is one of the hardest substances on earth. It measures 9 on the Mohs scale (diamond measures 10, the highest rating), which is a system for rating the relative hardness of various materials, making it virtually scratch proof.

Anti-reflective (AR) coatingApplying AR coating will limit the reflection on a sapphire or mineral glass to a very low level.

Transparent Case BackThe transparent case back, made of sapphire crystal, makes it possible to see the movement inside the watch.
