[Advanced level] - 44mm Big Pilot Watch | Vintage Pilot watch with Faux-Patina lume | Miyota 82S0

EONIQ x DWC Navigator - Create a beautiful
Big Pilot watch

With a 44mm case diameter, this big pilot with a vintage vibe is definitely going to draw attention.

The case is exquisitely designed to balance the traditional tool watch look and the premium case finish. The polished bezel contrasts the brushed case body beautifully, and the large dial is made possible with a very thin bezel. While this is a tool watch, it definitely will shine even when you are dressing up for a formal occasion.

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.

We chose a beautiful calf-leather strap for this pilot watch. Both the case and the strap will age beautifully with time.

Mod potential：★

Difficulty Level: ★★★★★ (This 44mm watch is the most challenging set for watch hand installation among our collections. The huge dial size requires us to custom design the shape of the second hand, which results in a very delicate and difficult-to-install second hand.)
