Aviator

Peregrine


And for comparison, here is a link to the first sketches of the Aviator:

Aviator design

I think it is great that CW is letting us in on the development-process of their watches!!

That aviator looks really nice.
I have some things I thinks should be changed though:
I'd like to see two dots next to the triangle at the 12
I'd als like to see the dateslide white, that would give the wacth an extra color accent.

And is there a pic of the back? I'm interested in that..
And will it be possible to get a nice leather aviator strap on the watch?

Looks good, especially the aviator.

So what exactly makes an aviator, an avaitor?

Wow! The peregrine has a lot of variatons and I think it will be a great watch for quartz lovers! Especially the metal bracelet looks like great quality.

The aviator also looks very nice, count me in on that one. I think it will look even better with a nice brown leather strap. That will add to the contrast, because now it looks kind of sober with the metal bracelet.

Things i would like to change would be like Warhol said two dots next to the triangle on top, and a nice brown aviator/flieger strap.

Another thing: this watch needs a distinguishing aviator crown, a nice big one.

I am also wondering how the back of the watch will look like?

so far so good, nice work from CWL.

Kev, I asked this question in a previous thread but no one answered if I recall.
The only thing I can come to terms with in this watch is it's easy to read. No fancy slide rule or anything on this one. A pic of the lume glowing would also be nice. Not sure what lume CW uses.

Indeed, good lume (maybe superluminova), big numerals, a triangle with dots next to it at twelve and a big crown (so you can use with gloves on, like pilots did).
A onion crown (like chronoswiss has) would be awesome!

Why two dots next to the triangle? Is this something traditional?

El Tiempo

Yes, it is actually. Almost every original ''flieger'' watch has this feature. Look at the IWC big pilot, Azimuth bombardier, Stowa flieger, and Archimede flieger if you want examples.

And I just like it

For everyone else.




I kind of like it. There are some spacing issues w/ CW's version though. What are the purpose of the dots?

El Tiempo

When pilots used pilot's watches, they didn't had numerals, only the triangle with dots at 12. So when is was dark, they could't possibly mistake where the 12 was on the watch.
