Pilot H
This watch is something of a gem. It is a scaled down version of the famous Beobachtungsuhr (B'uhr) as made by IWC and others during WWII. The originals were very large, like small clocks, and were worn on the outsides of flying jackets. The Pilot H (H for historic) is a homage to these classic watches. It has a plain dial devoid of maker's name and is likely to be more satisfying with the solid back option.
