Dress Watch

Modern, Minimalistic and Elegant is the easiest way to describe a good dress watch.

These are the watches which you wear mostly under your shirts and full suits while attending formal meetings or occasions. Dress watches are loved by everyone, especially bankers, doctors and brokers for their sheer simplicity and looks, they are powered either by quartz battery operated or by hand wound automatic movements.

There need not be complications on dress watches as their sole purpose is to show the accurate time and can come with or without date feature, higher complications include moon phase movements, chronograph functions and further can go to mechanical movements with skeleton dials.

Dress watches are a must, for watch collectors and even for all stylish gentlemen to make their statement.

Pilot Watch

Easy reading and precise time keeping are the most essential requirements of a Professional Pilot Watch. Originating in Early 1900’s these watches mainly grew popular in military use, replacing the traditional pocket watch which pilots found heavy and uncomfortable during long flights.

From simple large hands watch to modern complications with dual time zones, chronograph functions etc. these remain the most reliable tool watches for many veterans.

Aviation inspired watch cases, dials, hands, crowns, straps have led to many interesting concepts and stunning Pilot Watches. As we always say these are in true sense – FLYING MACHINES

Dive Watch

The most desired watches, the most well-built watches, the most rugged watches are Dive Watches.

To qualify for a Dive Watch category, the watch has to be at least 10 ATM Water Resistant that means the watch has to withstand 10 times the pressure at sea level without letting the water inside the watch.

Another important feature of a reliable dive watch is the time elapsed unidirectional rotatable bezel, which helps the deep sea divers to gauge the time they spent under water.

Diver’s prefer Hand Wound Automatic Movements over Quartz as there are chances that battery might power out and slow down the movement leading to hazardous events while diving.

Few pointers for a professional dive watch are 20 – 30 ATM Water Resistance, Bright Luminous Hands, Smooth Unidirectional Bezel, Reliable Movement and Easy grip crown.  

Dive Watches will always remain favorites among men for their performance and strong built to survive the harshest of conditions.

Pilot Watches, also known as Flieger Watch is the category of watches that creates great enthusiasm in watch lovers and happens to be one of the most common type of tool watches.

Their definition is pretty simple: a reliable, precise and legible watch to be worn on the wrist.

In early 1900’s Louis Cartier designed the first Pilot Watch for his friend Alberto Santos-Dumont, a famed aviation pioneer from Brazil who wanted a solution to check his flight performance. Alberto became a celebrity aviator in that era, revolutionizing  the new concept of wearing wristwatch to check the flight performance, instead of carrying pocket watches.

Since then, Pilot Watches grew popular with field officers who switched from pocket watches to wristwatches, and towards the end of World War II these wristwatches became an essential tool for military personals.    

Modern Flieger Watches have evolved in terms of designs, aesthetics, complications from earlier days but still their dna remains in right sense – FLYING MACHINES

Let’s look at the key features of Pilot Watches

• Bold, Luminous hands and indexes for Legibility
• Easy Grip Crowns which makes it convenient to manipulate while wearing gloves
• Date indicator
• Chronograph function for time calculation
• Dual or Multiple Time Zone indicator ( depending on the complications )

With all above, your Pilot watch must have great quality to last you for many years as a partner with whom you created a lifetime of special moments while travelling the world.
