What owners love

  • The legibility is exceptional, with crisp white numerals and a matte black dial that make it easy to read at a glance in any lighting.
  • The thin profile and curved lugs give it a comfortable fit on a wide range of wrist sizes, making it noticeably more wearable than bulkier pilot watches.
  • The date window at 3 o'clock is well-integrated and unobtrusive, maintaining the dial's classic symmetry and aviation-inspired design.

Common Criticisms

  • The movement is a modified Sellita SW300 rather than an in-house caliber, which many feel is underwhelming at this price point.
  • The lug width of 20mm feels disproportionate to the 40mm case, leading to a strap gap that bothers some owners visually.
  • The AR coating on the crystal is prone to scratches, and the outer coating in particular can show wear after regular use.
