Skytimer 507635303 Quartz Pilot Mens Watch

On 17 December 1903 with the first powered flight of history a big dream of mankind became true. Four men; a boy and his dog participated; when Orville Wright rose with the double-decker "Flyer "for 12 seconds into air. Later on that day his brother Wilbur flew even 59 seconds and covered a distance of 279 meters. With these pioneer flights began the racing progress of aviation in the following decades. Only three years later the history of pilot watches begins. The Brazilian balloonist Alberto Santos Dumont asked a friend; a famous watchmaker from Paris; to develop a special clock for pilots; that was carried at the wrist. Up to then the relatively young fashion of wrist-watches was considered among men as "womanish"; because real gentlemen still used the watch at the chain. So at the same time the first pilot watch AND the first wrist-watch for men came into being. SkyTimer watches unite all qualities of the original pilot watches with the most modern technology. They are characterised by an extreme robustness and shock resistance. To ensure a good readability in the dark; all watches are equipped with luminous numbers and hands. In addition some models have a special red second hand. Another aspect of the steadfastness are the robust leather straps or alternatively solid metal bands. Characteristics such as anti-magnetism and a high resistibility against extreme climatic and kinetic loads are natural. SkyTimer watches guarantee always the right and exact time - in any situation!
