Mil-TecVintage Aviator Watch Black Dial Quartz Mens Flieger Pilot World War 2 Wristwatch

Drawn to this timepiece and gotta say, it’s beautiful. If the movement was to be an automatic, even better. Overall, this would be nice for an everyday watch. Feels natural on wrist and genuine leather strap. Feels nice and thick. Exceptional for its price and appreciate the homage.

I love the watch. Fantastic re-creation with very authentic WWII flieger design. Watch is really much more solid and well constructed than I expected. I own 6 watches, some more expensive than this, but this one feels as good as any. I wish they sold this in an Automatic - I would pay the extra. However, this Miyota Quartz movement is pretty high quality. The strap however is a disaster. Thick leather-coated foam pad strap is hard to get clasped and is very uncomfortable. But the strap really doesn't bother me much as I almost always upgrade the strap anyways. Replaced it with a nicer brown leather Barton strap that I had on hand - see pics. With strap upgrade, a very, very nice watch!

I had been wanting to get my hands on a vintage style pilot watch for some time. When I stumbled upon this watch by Mil-tec, I was immediately intrigued...especially for the price. My normal everyday watches are an Omega Railmaster XXL and a Tag Formula one. However, I thought that it would be nice to have a beater watch that I could mix in sometimes as well. This watch accomplishes that mission with style. When it arrived I was immediately impressed with its size and weight. The watch is 43mm in diameter and takes a 20 or 22mm strap (Both sizes will fit.) The watch feels substantial and the case has a brushed vintage look. I immediately swapped out the black strap that came with it for a brown NATO strap that I felt was more appropriate to the heritage of the timepiece. The reason I gave it 4 stars in stead of 5 is because the outer circumference of the crystal is magnified and I think the watch would have looked better if they had gone with a flat glass instead. Also because the black strap that comes with the watch does not do it justice at all. To maximize the look of the watch you will need to replace it with a strap more fitting to the style. *One thing to note is that if you order this watch, you have to have the patience to wait for it to arrive. It ships from the UK. I ordered mine on June 16th and it was delivered on June 27th. (Not bad...but when you're used to Amazon Prime, it can be torture waiting that long) I took some photos to show how impressive the watch is.

Very nice replica of German Luftwaffe aviator watch…….I would recommend that the second hand be made more visible with a touch of some white paint on the point……the second hand is virtually invisible against the black watch face……

This is a decent watch, but it has a few problems.The biggest is that the second hand is black on a black dial, which makes it hard to see during daylight and impossible at night.The next big problem is the lume. Anyone familiar with the Type B Flieger, which is what this watch is a copy of, knows that the lume on those is usually all encompassing. This is limited to the inner circle, not including the numbers, and the hour and minute hand.The movement in this is a Miyota 2034, which isn't anything great. The case back is pressed on, so you're not changing your battery without a case back press.I anticipate the battery life will be somewhere around a year.I don't recall seeing any water resistance claims, but given the push in crown and pressed on case back with no gasket, this watch should be kept dry. One trip to the pool and this thing is almost certainly ruined.This is not a great watch. It is a decent watch. If you want the least expensive Type B Flieger available, this is the watch for you. If you want a watch that is going to last for years, this is probably not the watch for you.

Gift for my son and ge loves it

I love the look and design of this watch but it’s stopped working after less than a month. Very disappointed!

I had to track down when I bought this beastie to figure out exactly how upset I'm supposed to feel over this. 1st. I bought it on the 1st of Oct '19. 2. The battery is dead [last time I wore it was last summer, so less than a year. 3. Glancing at the price [today] depending on dial color $65~90usd. 4. THIS IS the biggie. the back won't come off [before anyone gets their drawers inna knot] I've done some mods & repairs on a few Value World display watches. I have Some tools, books, whatnot. I've gogld, bingded, yahyelled. you name it. an-Yah, you can OPEN anything, being able to close it back? [doing that, bout 95% almost cross threaded the back on the case ONCE]. I suppose I'd feel better if it only cost $50, you know, closer to $125ish you can find seiko 5 automatic in a serviceable condition. [like the car that looks good across the street, not the sidewalk next to it?] like that. Those units that get done on the wristwatch repair/revival type thing.So disappointed [if I had remembering what I paid for it then I'd be peeved, NO thank you, I'd rather not look it up, get "peeved" and boost my BP]. The times I remember wearing it nothing negative happened mechanically, how it feels on my wrist is nice. The biggie, it looks cool. I'd like to be able to put it in rotation [stupid battery].
