Pilot’s Watch Chronograph – Classic Black Dial (43mm)

The Pilot’s Watch Chronograph defines the genre of the “Flieger” chronograph. Engineered as a functional instrument rather than a jewelry piece, it prioritizes legibility and durability above all else. With its robust steel case and utilitarian dial, it has become the daily driver of choice for those who appreciate tool-watch purity.

Design & Craftsmanship

Cockpit Legibility:
The dial layout is modeled after cockpit altimeters. The matte black background eliminates glare, while the broad, luminescent hands and numerals ensure the time can be read instantly in any lighting condition. The signature triangle at 12 o’clock provides immediate orientation.

Built for Extremes:
Inside the 43mm steel case lies a soft-iron inner cage. This unseen shield protects the movement from magnetic fields found in cockpits and modern electronics, ensuring precision isn’t compromised. The glass is secured against sudden drops in air pressure.

Functional Details:
At 3 o’clock, the day and date windows provide essential calendar information. The running seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock features a distinctive red hand—the only splash of color on the dial—serving as a constant operation indicator.

On The Wrist

The brushed steel finish gives the watch a purposeful, industrial look that hides scratches well. While 43mm sounds large, the design is balanced and sits confidently on the wrist. It’s the kind of watch that looks better with a leather jacket and jeans than a suit—a true companion for the weekend adventurer.
