DIY Watchmaking Kit | Flight 01 Lite (F01) Pilot Watch with Vintage strap details:
A military pilot watch inspired by traditional timekeepers back in the World War era (Mark XI Pilot Watch created specifically for the British Royal Airforce). This is a modern interpretation of the traditional pilot watch. The watch dial has clear and legible numerals and lumed markers.
