Hands coated in a white lacquer consistent with the original RAF models furthers the Pilot Pioneer’s heritage appeal, as does a layer of Super-LumiNova®.

Also used on the dial markings, its beige-tone is reminiscent of the patina found today in vintage radium-based lume and ensures clarity in low light conditions.

Distinctive features such as a right-side case bulge designed to protect the crown and pushers, as well as a dome-shaped ‘box’ crystal with double anti-reflective coating also nod to its historic use as a critical aviation tool.

The commitment to authenticity continues inside with our high-performance H-51-Si mechanical movement, introduced in 2021. The hand-winding caliber keeps the pilot watch true to its origins, while updated technology including a silicon balance spring and 60-hour power reserve maintains Hamilton’s strict standards of precision.
