Many pilot watches have large, dark dials with contrasting numbers or indices, essential for a pilot to easily and instantly tell the time for both day or night flights in all-weather conditions. So anti-reflective coatings are vapour-deposited to both sides of the glass in a vacuum environment, reducing reflections to less than 0.5% for optimum legibility. Untreated crystals can allow light to reflect back, significantly affecting the legibility of the dial. That’s the equivalent to 2000Hv on the Vickers’ scale. Additionally, our convex sapphire crystals come with a Mohs hardness rating of 9. Your watch’s dial should be readable at a glance, especially when you’re busy manning the cockpit and there’s no room for error.īremont’s pilot watches feature up to 20 coats of Super-LumiNova® to their dials, ensuring optimal visibility in the poorest of lighting conditions. Legibility is one of the most important things to consider when looking for a pilot watch. FEATURES TO LOOK FOR IN PILOT WATCHES LEGIBILITY Nowadays, we can reach the highest altitudes at supersonic speeds, but a pilot’s watch will remain both a nostalgic link to the past and an aspirational connection to our endless quest for innovation. These classic exacting timepieces assist pilots in establishing vital information such as fuel consumption, rate of climb or descent, and other necessary calculations required when flying.
#DUAL TIME PILOT WATCH PROFESSIONAL#
Although modern aircraft are equipped with the latest in cutting-edge navigational and communication technology, pilot watches are still an indispensable piece of kit for many airmen and women, both professional and recreational. The complexity of pilot watches has developed in tandem with aviation’s technological advances. In fact, in the past, there have even been strict standards and specific requirements applied to the pilot watches issued to members of the air force. Pilot watches have been an indispensable tool for pilots for many years. If you explore the history of the aviation and watchmaking industries, you’ll notice how intertwined they are. In fact, so intertwined are timepieces and air travel that the very foundations of Bremont’s story is rooted in the founders’ deep and abiding love of flying. Since the first courageous aeronautical explorers boldly took to the skies over 100 years ago, pilot watches have been an integral component of flying and a symbol of humankind’s indomitable spirit for adventure.
It’s what you do with it that counts.There has always been a very close association between aviation and time.
