Inspired by aviation, these watches often feature large dials, legible numerals, and complications useful for pilots.
This watch is certainly in stark contrast to a myriad of recent illegible and dare I say nauseating designs by Bulova.
Here we have the classic SNK805 and SNZG09, which are probably nearing the end of their run, as well as the newcomer, the SRPG33.
The perfect budget pilot watch…does it exist? Probably not. Nevertheless, the watch featured in this post gets pretty close, as far as I’m concerned.
When it comes to getting newbies into the hobby of watch collecting, I can’t think of many pieces that surpass the Seiko SNK809. This affordable mechanical military field watch has been a best-seller for many years.
This beefy boy is the Spitfire Type 300 in gunmetal grey and is quite different from many of the pieces I’ve covered before on this blog.
What if I told you this fancy piece isn't 5 grand, 2 grand, or even 500 quid, for that matter?
