Review of the AirNautic AN-24 Pilot
February 4, 2010
It's very rare to come across a
watch designed with a singular style and aesthetic, but the example we have
in today reflects a tradition of Swiss aviation watches. The AirNautic
AN-24 Pilot is an automatic pilots watch that features a time-proven design
and the backing of a familiar brand.
The AirNautic brand was founded by Mitch Feig of OCEAN7 Watch Co in order to preserve the aesthetic created by Yantar watches. Their distinctive 24-hour dial and bright contrasting colors have carried over under Mitch's guidance, and has allowed a new audience to enjoy a very cool design. We jumped at the opportunity to review the AN-24 Pilot, and here's why:
- ETA 2893-2 24-hour timekeeping. (The dial is based on 24-hours rather than 12.)
- 41.5mm wide and 11.75 mm tall.
- Flat sapphire crystal with internal AR coating.
- Screw down crown.
- 100m (330ft) water resistance.
- 20mm lugs.
- Black leather strap with signed buckle.
- Date window at 4 o'clock position.
