ABTR turns us onto a very elegant pilot’s watch that comes in priced way under budget – 650$US – from German maker Archimedes. That’s a price that should not go unnoticed. “If you are looking for a good priced, well mannered, and large sized pilot style watch, this just might be the piece for you. Archimede released their next Pilot automatic watch with the Pilot XL Automatik. The watch takes everything you like about the traditional simple Pilot watch look and ups the size from 39mm or 42mm to 45mm. The crown itself is 8mm thick. This is actually a good size making for a decidedly large watch that I would NOT describe as being silly big.”

Junghans knows a thing or two about military watches. Back in the day, they built fighter aircraft instrument clocks – a qualification on its own. Today they continue to issue some military grade hardware with this Automatic Pilot’s Watch. Inspired by the looks of former issue Czechoslovakian air force watches, the Jungens features a PVD coated stainless steel casing, black face, the expected illuminated hands, and sapphire glass for ultra scratch resistance. A true classic.
