Its a different take on a pilots watch. I know what drew me into this piece was its close resemblance to a field watch. The numerals arent super large and with everything on the dial preportioned the way it is i thought it was a great mix of the two watch styles. The closest watch i can relate this to still in production is the longine spirit in 39mm. Looks great as a field watch and as a dedicated pilots watch 🔥
I think the concepts of fauxtina is interesting. We want everything to be pristine and shiny when its brand new, but we value age, and signs of wear and love in something that’s vintage. I would love to see modern watches be able to show these signs of wear that vintage watchs have done naturally.
I wonder if there could be such a thing anymore? Where dials colors transform over time, lume browns into a beautiful shade of tan or maybe a different color. I understand these processes happen from old techniques of paint and radium, but what if brands used these ideas of aging and degradation as a feature instead of a flaw.
Me personally I would love to see that, and we are starting to with bronze.
That bronze case looks amazing! I love the contrast of the dial and case, its dynamic and has flare to it!
Thats true! Alot of the fun in finding this peice is the research. Learning about ORIS, the history, the quality, and pation. I always say, value values value. (Not surr where i heard that from but i like to think i made it up lol).
I have to make a trip down to where you are! I would love to check out the newer models some day.
