We are pleased to offer the new upgraded Pilot watch from Ticino. Keeping in line with the original B-uhr observers watch, which were made for WWII Luftwaffe of the 1940's, Ticino decided to make a scaled back version from the originals that weighed in at 55mm to a more wearable 47mm. In doing so they decided to use a dependable 17-jewel hand wind movement fully finished and looking very attractive though the clear case back.

The case has nice contours and is in all brushed satin finish. The new case was CNC machined to have the bezel and case one piece. The bezel contours from crystal to case which allows such a watch to appear smaller on the wrist. Curved lugs make this a very comfortable to wear.

The new features that we find appealing are the use of SuperLuminova both on dial and the new hand selection, allowing great visibility in daytime and especially at night.

This watch typifies what the original creator's were striving for 60 years ago, a large, clean dial which is simple but effective and easy to read.

If you're in the market for a pilot style watch, this is definitely one to consider both for quality and price. We have yet to find anything similar.
