My partner LOVES the watch, he wears it everyday and it goes well with his MTA uniform
I have both the Blue Band and the steel bracelet and love both of them, more than my Swiss made $15,000 watch...
Beautiful watch! The complexity of the watch brings a bit elegance to it. The dials have nice circular ridges to them, that makes them stand out from the rest of the face. The leather band is a bit stiff on the ends where the watch is. But after a while the strap forms to your wrist, and it's very comfortable. It took a while to realize that the time zone acronyms are airport codes since it is a pilots watch. I did get an aftermarket strap to preserve the original, and keep in mind that the pin is curved, so it took some effort to fit a normal strap with a straight pin. I do recommend resetting to zero just to see how it's done. The watch adjusts itself, so it's very low maintenance. The slide rule is turned by the knob on the left. It has enough grip to turn it with one finger. I highly recommend this watch for people who like pilot watches.
I bought this watch for my husband for our 20 anniversary 2015. No issues, So many compliments on it from random people in line in grocery store to standing in line waiting to get out the plane. It’s an eye catching watch. Great feature atomic time keeping my absolute favorite and sapphire crystal keeps it looking new.
