MERIDIAN TITANIUM GMT
Our latest pilot watch model! Designed with highly durable, scratch resistant lightweight all titanium (T2). The tactile grooved titanium crown provides ideal grip in winding and setting time. The fine bead-blasted case finish really gives this GMT pilot watch a warm military look and feel that is ready for any flight mission.
PILOT DESIGN FOCUS
The aviation design on the Meridian dial provides clear legibility of time including the 24 hour GMT time on the inner bezel. This really emphasizes the global use of this true pilot watch. Choice of yellow, red, or orange GMT hand colors gives you the ability to quickly read dual times keeping you always "in the zone."
DESIGN QUAILITY
Engineered with a Seiko NH-34 automatic GMT movement under the hood, sapphire crystals with blue anti-reflective coating inside, and Swiss Super Lumi-Nova on the dial and hands. This pilot watch not only looks good in the hand but fits great on the wrist with curved case lugs that include lug holes for easy and quick strap changes. This pilot watch flies well above the clouds in quality.
AIR FORCE COLLECTION
Our Air Force collection pilot watches are designed with internal rotating timing bezels. Each model has a unique bezel that corresponds with the dial and is used for various timing functions, second time zone, and compass directions. Every model will keep you in the pilot's seat and on track during flight.
ENGINEERED FOR PILOTS
Air Force collection pilot watches are designed with pilots in mind. This includes scratch resistance sapphire crystals with blue anti-reflective coating inside, and Swiss Super Lumi-Nova luminescent on the hands and dials for low-light visibility. Because legibility and reading accurate time at a quick glance is so important for pilots, our "stealth" date windows are recessed into the dials with gray colored numerals. This provides clean reading of the time on the dial without any distractions or interference!
CRAFTMANSHIP
Whether you're an aviation pilot or a pilot of life, our Air Force collection cases are ready for any flight. We use only 316L hypoallergic stainless steel with a brushed finish, curved lugs for wrist comfort, dual signed tactile crowns for proper grip, and lug holes to allow for quick and easy strap changes. These are just some of the finishing touches that really show off this pilot watch.
TRUSTED SEIKO AUTOMATIC MOVEMENTS
The engines that power our Air Force Collection pilot watches are carefully engineered by the world renowned Seiko brand. Inside every case, seen through the sapphire crystal exhibition case back, is a NH-35 automatic movement, the same used by many famous watchmakers across the globe. You'll never need to replace a battery in your pilot watch while in flight, because our watches don't need batteries.
PILOT EXCURSION BAG
Whether you are a aviation pilot or a pilot of life, our excursion bag has it all! Unique 3-in-1 design allows this bag to be a backpack, shoulder bag, or hand bag. Engineered with high quality 16oz. washed canvas that is pliable, flexible and water resistant. Inside you will find soft quality cotton lining with 3 sections, 2 zipper pockets, zipper pouch, and a section for your laptop or iPad. On the outside you will find 7 zipper pockets for all your extra travel needs. A must have for any excursion, whether flying, road tripping, or an adventure in the office!
PILOT MINIMALIST WALLETS
Hand selected quality, soft and subtle top-grain leather and added extra stitching provides comfort and durability. RFID blocking technology is engineered into every wallet to protect your credit cards. The quick access card pockets provide enough space for multiple cards and the extra snap pocket gives you more security (perfect for business cards). The zipper pocket provides quick access with security for extra cards, cash, spare key, hotel key, and more. Ideal for pilots, but also minimalists, front pocket security carry, shorts, sport coat, or business suit!
BYOP CANVAS STRAPS
BYOP canvas straps were not only designed and perfectly paired for BYOP pilot watches, but for all watches! They are engineered with a "Quick Release" spring bar that allows for quick and easy strap changes with no tools necessary. Our straps are also crafted using extremely durable canvas that is embroidered and designed for both style and strength and are 1/4 inch longer and 1/2 mm thicker than the leading canvas straps brand! We also made our strap loops 2mm tighter than standard straps, so you won't experience the annoying slippage of the end of your strap sliding out!
