Male watches PRIM Pilot Dual Time W01P.13297.A

The PRIM Pilot Dual Time W01P.13297.A men’s automatic pilot’s watch builds on the enormous success of the previous, completely sold-out edition and brings the proven concept of a classic pilot’s watch into the modern era.

The central feature of the model is a black dial with bold Arabic numerals, which honors its authentic aviation heritage and allows for effortless time-reading at a single glance. The luminescent coating on the hands ensures reliable time-reading in low light or complete darkness, and the dial also features a practical date window.

In addition to the standard hour, minute, and second hands, the watch features a separate fourth 24-hour hand to display a second time zone. This additional GMT hand completes one full rotation of the dial every 24 hours and immediately reveals on the inner scale not only the exact time at the destination being tracked, but also whether it is currently day or night there. This is an invaluable complication for globetrotters, top executives, and anyone who stays in touch with family or colleagues on the other side of the world.

The watch’s bold and confident appearance is underscored by a robust round case measuring 43 mm in diameter and 13 mm in height, which is precision-crafted from high-grade 316L stainless steel with an antique silver-gray finish. A special patinated finish gives the metal an authentic character, as if the watch already has a history and has been through a lot, which perfectly complements the traditional pilot’s aesthetic. The dial is uncompromisingly protected from damage and scratches by a flat sapphire crystal, which retains absolute clarity and durability even during demanding daily use.

Precise and reliable operation is ensured by the proven Japanese mechanical movement, the Seiko-TMI NH34A caliber, fitted with 24 jewels. The movement operates at a reliable frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, allowing the second hand to move smoothly in six small increments per second. The automatic winding mechanism draws energy from the natural movement of the wrist and, when fully wound, provides a power reserve of approximately 41 hours. The watch also features manual winding via the crown and a practical hacking function that stops the seconds hand when the crown is pulled out, allowing for precise time adjustment based on a reference signal.

The watch is assembled with the utmost emphasis on precision by skilled master watchmakers, ensuring top-notch craftsmanship in every detail. A sturdy leather strap keeps the watch securely on the wrist, emphasizing its vintage aviation character and ensuring high comfort for all-day wear.

Weighing a total of 93 grams, the watch feels solid and natural on the wrist.

Furthermore, its 10 ATM (100-meter) water resistance provides worry-free protection during everyday contact with water, such as walking in the rain or washing your hands; for planned swimming, simply swap the leather strap for a water-resistant alternative.
