Almost all of us once dreamed of becoming an airplane or helicopter pilot. Life writes different plans, but some dreams turn into hobbies or even lifelong passions. It is no different with aviation, which, in addition to the pilot's profession, is also associated with gluing together models on a correspondingly smaller scale and.... watches, which to this day refer by their styling to the former ornament and, above all, to the device supporting the pilot at the beginning of the dynamic development of a man's career in the skies. If you're looking for a men's aviation watch, you've come to the right place - this category is dedicated to just such products!
At the beginning of the twentieth century, two things happened almost simultaneously - man took to the air and gained more and more achievements in the field of avionics, and pocket watches changed their location - they went from trouser pockets to wrists. These two events are more intertwined than one might think at first glance. The men's aviation watch revolutionized the system of wearing it, as models with built-in chronographs were a navigation tool, according to which the pilot oriented himself in space and helped to plot the direction of flight. Of course, the idea behind the wearing system was that it shouldn't have to be taken out of the pocket, but should be available at the pilot's beck and call, so placing it on the hand was quite a rational idea.
The current model of men's aviation watch is slightly different from its predecessor, already a century old. Today's timepieces referring to aviation in their styling combine traditional design with today's trends. Classic men's aviation watches were characterized by very large dials, with diameters as large as 55 mm! The idea, of course, was legibility in conditions of limited visibility, so no one bothered with date dials - they just weren't that necessary. The fluorescent covering of the hands has a similar story. During the night, the cockpit went dark, and with this solution he could easily and quickly determine the time. Another difference was the straps of the watches, which in their prototype versions were very thick and very large to be worn on the sleeve of a thick jacket. Today, fortunately, they are adapted to be worn on the wrist, so they don't look comical.
In our offer we have a wide range of various types of prestigious men's aviation watches, which should interest not only fans of avionics or aviation history. One of the flagship brands with which we have established cooperation is the already legendary Zeppelin brand. They equip their models with advanced Swiss mechanisms that serve for many years without any failure. In addition, high-quality leather straps look great with the envelopes, which refer in their design to the classic pilot's watches of the early 20th century. The envelopes are made of stainless steel or stainless steel, they have such enhancements as date and stopwatches, moreover, they have unbeatable water resistance, guaranteeing the safety of the device even when swimming, taking a bath or showering. The glass of the envelope, on the other hand, is tempered or made of sapphire glass, which is designed to protect against scratches and abrasions that could occur during everyday use.
A men's aviator watch is not only a piece of history, but also a way to showcase one's interests and can literally be treated as a piece of jewelry.
