The best pilot watches of 2025

Beautiful luxury watches come in all shapes and sizes. Every enthusiast and collector has their own preference regarding the design of a watch, the functionalities of a watch and the type of movement (mechanical, automatic or battery-powered). There are certain groups of watches that are specifically intended for a certain purpose or have a special appeal to many enthusiasts and collectors of beautiful luxury watches due to their character. A good example of a category of luxury watches that are designed with a specific purpose in mind and are loved by many enthusiasts due to their special character, are the pilot watches. Pilot watches can of course be worn while flying, but also have a certain appeal to the enthusiast due to their traditional appearance and often historical details. A pilot watch in a stylish design has a nostalgic character and therefore knows how to attract attention when worn. A pilot watch with character is also suitable for a business or more casual outfit and should therefore not be missing from the collection of the true collector.

The authentic pilot watch used to have to be easy to read while flying. That is why the dials of these watches are often somewhat larger and very clear. In addition, it was also very important that these watches were easy to read in the dark. Traditional pilot watches are often decorated with beautiful historical details and retro elements today. Within the watchmaking industry, we find pilot watches with beautiful vintage leather watch straps, but also models with watch straps made of stainless steel.
