DIY Watchmaking Kit | Flight 01 Lite (F01) PVD Pilot Watch Details - Standard Lume:

A military pilot watch inspired by traditional timekeepers back in the World War era (Mark XI Pilot Watch created specifically for the British Royal Airforce). This is a modern interpretation of the traditional pilot watch. The watch dial has clear and legible numerals and lumed markers. 

At the size of 40mm, this is a no-nonsense tool watch powered by the tried and true Miyota 8 series movement. 

The DIY kit includes:

  • Complete components of one 40mm Flight series mechanical watch
