![]() The strap also comes loaded with quick release pins which are a plus, not that you’ll have the need to change it. The square tang buckle is completely brushed to match the case, with the logo lightly etched on the top bar. The horizontal stitching by the lugs and arrow at the base are an interesting touch. It’s super soft and supple, I love the look and feel. It fits my ~7.25” wrist perfectly, with 3 holes left. It is a beautiful rugged strap, but it’s a bit shorter than normal. The strap is made of crazy horse leather. The printwork across the dial is very delicate and fine impressively done despite the galvanised finish. The date window is cut straight out of the dial base, I think it could be neater or had a little bit more attention. The hands have an attractive fish shape to them which is slightly different to what you’d expect, with a brushed base which matches the dial. I’ve found it charges quickly and glows brightly even in the day. The dial is loaded with Superluminova GLC3 and BGW9 (I’m not sure which is used where) – it’s really strong and impressive. It has an eye-catching sunray steel central base, that works well with the concentric circular engraved outer edge. In true aviator style, the dial is bright and bold ideal for legibility. It also has a fighter jet silhouette which is cool but obstructs your view of the movement. Instead, some details are printed on the underside of the window, around the outer edge. The exhibition caseback has no detailing surrounding the window which makes it look oddly bare. The push-pull crown has the logo embossed on the end and is easy to use thanks to the reasonable size and effective grip. ![]() The clarity is stunning, however, with an excellent layer of anti-reflective coating on the underside. It’s a real shame it’s not sapphire, but at least it’s hardened. ![]() Sitting on top of the case is a K1 hardened mineral crystal. Personally, I like it you get the look and feel of an aviator but a more reasonable, comfortable size. The size is very comfortable, but traditionally aviators are more towards the 44mm mark. The 40mm case is fully brushed, and a simple barrel in shape.
