Introducing: The IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic 36 (The 36mm IWC Pilot's Watch Returns!)
We're getting closer and closer to the main event for the Richemont maisons: SIHH is only 10 days away. IWC has already announced that this is going to be the Year of the Pilot's Watch, and we had a look just recently at the new Big Pilot's Heritage 55 and 48 timepieces, which borrow their aesthetic from the b-uhr (navigation watches) made by IWC in the 1940s. Now, IWC introduces the Pilot's Watch Automatic 36 – a first look at the changes in the pipeline overall for the iconic and beloved Mark series. Let's talk a little bit about the history of pilot's watches at IWC as well. 1 OF 4 IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic in 36mm The history of manufacturing pilot's watches goes back to the introduction by IWC, in 1936, of the so-called "Special Watch For Pilots," which was one of the first purpose-built watches for aviators (there was also, of course, the Weems Seconds-Setting watch, which was developed by P.

A Comparison of Two Chronographs Along with Two Women we Adore¡­
The first candidate is the Bulova VC200 Chronograph. It has the outward appearance of a diver and sports the Valjoux 7750 movement. The case measures about 43mm wide and is about 14mm thick. It has a screw down crown and the lugs are drilled. Currently out of production, example can be found even today on the ¡¯Bay for under $1K.

A classic dial layout w/ blued hands to boot. The case measures 44mm wide and it is 14.5mm thick. This L696 caliber is based upon the ETA A07.231 movement.

Oceanus M800... Anything else?
I'm new to these forums, so thanks in advance for any advice, and sorry for any protocol faux pas I might make. I'm by no means an expert here (I'll do my best to look up any acronyms and terms I'm unfamiliar with), and greatly appreciate your posts.I am looking for a new watch, and done a lot of homework online. The Oceanus M800 currently has my attention. It has most of the characteristics I am looking for...AtomicSolar (or any other tech that doesn't require battery swaps)Lack of digital components on the faceSlim (well, slimmer than other similar watches)Light (well, lighter than other similar watches)DurableBlend of dressy and sportyChronoTimerAlarmMy only gripe with the M800 (and this is nitpicking, because I still love the watch) is that the bezel is a bit too busy for my taste. I'd prefer one that's more plain and slim.My question for the forum is Are there any other similar watches on the market that I should be considering around the same price point?
