Oldie but goodie

TimeToDesign

This was the first JM I designed for the launch back in 2015. It had a modest Miyota automatic inside a 42mm case with a matte dial and BG-W9 lume. I even got one of the only Beretta master engravers in the world to hand engrave the conception date of Jack Mason on the side. Since then we’ve discontinued the item since we’ve been revamping our catalog….man. Should we refresh this one and bring it back? What should we do to it??

Still think it's a great looking watch but the crown didn't work for me (left handed wear it on the right) not sure anyone else had that issue...bring it back as an automatic (40mm?)

It's a great looking watch as is.

If I was designing it, I'd probably make it 40mm & offer the destro version as @BtownB9 said. Also maybe narrow that triangle a tad, but keep the height and remove the JM text on the dial.

if it were more cost effective maybe just adjust the shape or size of the crown but agree with UJ's other suggestions

Yea the crown was a design choice to stay true to that classic pilot's crown. However, it's not the most practical in the modern day! Yes we would certainly size it down for sure and upgrade the movement.

Love the feedback. Sizing it down is definitely a must. For a field/pilot's watch I think 40mm is a pretty solid size. We would certainly change our logo to our new lone star logo as well. Thanks for the feedback.
