EONIQ x DWC Watchmaking Kit | Bronze Pilot Watch (no date) with calf leather strap. Powered by Made-in-Japan Mechanical Movement
EONIQ x DIY Watch Club Watchmaking Kit
Pilot watches weren't just worn by pilots in WW II. They were worn by navigators on board. Combined with an octant, the navigators could determine the precise location of the aircraft. The navigator's watch was an instrument of utmost importance as it was required for the aircraft to find its target, and to ensure the crew onboard was able to return home.
Modernized, now at the size of 40mm, this is a no-nonsense tool watch powered by the tried and true Miyota 8 series movement. Both the aluminum bronze case from EONIQ and the calf leather straps develop patinas over time, adding unique character to your watch.

Watch Case: EONIQ Bronze 40mm case (Double Dome Sapphire Crystal) with 10ATM W.R. (CF-01) Case Back: Silver Exhibition case back (Mineral Crystal) Movement Holder: Movement holder for Miyota 8 series
