I've been using it for two years. Everything works flawlessly. The strap is thick and strong, without any abrasions. The battery is still the original one. Personally, I'm very pleased with the appearance—the design is excellent. I recommend it!
A classic Army Retro Pilot watch featuring a brass envelope and quartz movement. The envelope and thick glass provide water resistance up to 3 atmospheres (up to 30 meters of water column pressure), that is, resistance to splashes and moisture with daily use.
There are two graduations on the watch's dial: an inner one with a smaller pointer responsible for indicating the hour, and an outer one with a larger pointer with minute markings ranging from 5 to 55. The hands have been coated with fluorescent coating, which makes it easier to read the time in limited lighting.
The watch's 20mm wide strap has been made of cowhide leather in black.

This is a very nice and comfortable watch. I've had it for over a year now and in that time I've only noticed one flaw—the pins in the strap are weak and often need replacing with new ones.

A solidly made, hefty watch with a noticeable leather strap on the wrist. The case is deliberately aged, styled to look patinated, making it resemble watches from years gone by—the kind you might find in your grandfather's drawer, though not necessarily from wartime. It's an interesting option for enthusiasts of military or retro vibes. Only the ticking of the second hand, typical for quartz watches, reveals that it's a contemporary model. The large crown is very convenient to use. The watch arrives with the crown pulled out, which allows you to stop the mechanism and saves battery life. The dial is legible—as befits a pilot watch, regardless of price range. The hands glow in the dark, but there’s no luminescence applied to the dial itself. The movement is somewhat unknown, probably designed in Japan, manufactured in China, but only a watchmaker could confirm that. The watch works accurately, without any issues. It's worth remembering that Mil-Tec is a brand of military equipment, not watches, so it uses cheap components and doesn’t produce its own German movements. The watch is splash-proof as described (30M); hand washing or brief immersion caused no problems, and no moisture appeared under the glass. In the price range up to 300 PLN, it's a very solid choice, though if you can spend over a thousand, I recommend considering a classic Laco Flieger B with a similar design but of better quality. For me, since I use it outdoors, it’s not worth investing more in something that could be easily damaged.
