Prototype - Pilot Type B (Automatic)

The Type B is based on the WWII B-Uhr, the observation watch supplied to fighter pilots. The original was 55mm, and this one is a wearable 40mm. This prototype was built before the solar version and runs on a Miyota 82S0 automatic movement. It has large minute numerals, sword-shaped hands, a flat sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance. The caseback is engraved in the style of a government-contract watch. It comes on a gray mil-spec ribbed nylon strap.
