EONIQ x DWC Navigator N03 - A different pilot watch
With Type A and Type B “B-Uhr” Pilot watches dominating the market, sometimes we find ourselves longing for something a little different.
Introducing N03 Pilot watch, designed by our sister company EONIQ. This is a modernized take on a pilot watch dial design that can be found all the way back since the 1930's. These watches back then are quite interesting; while the fonts are distinctively recognizable, most simply describe them as "large and lumed arabic numerals for Pilot watches". If you know what these fonts are called exactly, please do DM us and let us know!
The watch is powered by the tried and true Miyota 8 series movement. If you don't mind the ghost click, I'd definitely consider putting in a Miyota 8315 movement for the 60 hour power reserve.
We chose the large pilot crown, faux-vintage brown lume, and a beautiful vintage calf-leather strap for this pilot watch. Hope you like it!
