Kickstarter TRINTEC Copilot Arifield
Continuing with Kicstarter watches, I saw this and thought it was interesting.
The specifications are as follows:
CASE: Stainless Steel.
MOVEMENT: Seiko NH-35A Hacking.
CRYSTAL: Sapphire Crystal AR Coating
WATER RESISTANCE: 20 ATM 660 Feet
WATCH DIMENSIONS: 42mm x 42mm (1.65 in)
BEZEL DIAMETER: 43mm (1.7in)
DISTANCE BETWEEN LUGS: 22mm (0.9in)
WATCH CASE LENGHT: 54mm (2.1in)
Price on Kicstarter: US$236.
This would be their second kickstarter project, apparently the first one went well and the piece that was financed is still for sale.
As always, the link to the project is below.

Welcome to my WatchCrunch profile.
I really don't see anything different from so many other "pilot" watches already available.
That's true. A first glance it seems to be another one, without anything special.

This is actually a "copilot" watch...😉
$450 is a steep ask. That is not to say it looks bad, I actually like the look quite a lot. The picture on their kickstarter of it right next to the gauge is really cool. Just seems too expensive, you can get a whole lot of watch for $450 nowadays.
Nice cheaper alternative to a 556, if you want the look but aren't obsessed with specs.
The 54mm l2l is going to be the biggest problem even if you ignore how expensive it is
