Fitted with specialized complications that meet the specific needs of pilots, the AOPA Pilot’s Chronograph has everything a pilot could ask for in a masterfully-crafted timepiece.
One highlight of any great pilot’s watch is its chronometers, which a pilot can use for tracking flight times. The AOPA Pilot’s Chronograph is powered by Swiss quartz movement, making it an extremely reliable timepiece that will retain its accuracy with incredible precision. A pilot’s watch needs to have as precise of instruments as possible, and Jack Mason has spared no expense in their effort to make this timepiece the best watch on the market for aviators.
In addition, the Pilot’s Chronograph is equipped with a movement guard that protects it from the magnetic fields emitted by an aircraft’s instruments. These magnetic fields can disrupt the functionality of a watch, which, as any pilot knows, is a major problem. Thanks to expert craftsmanship and input from AOPA, this watch is equipped with an iron cage that blocks out any interference from magnetic fields in the cockpit.
The watch’s crystal is of the finest quality. Thoroughly tested for resistance to pressure changes that come with increases and decreases in altitude, this watch is impervious to warping. In addition, the durability and integrity of the crystal make it nearly impossible to shatter.
For added convenience and functionality, the AOPA Pilot’s Chronograph is also equipped with a bi-directional bezel. This feature can be used to track time in a second time zone, a function that can be indispensable for pilots flying across the country or to other parts of the world. The bezel can also serve as a countdown timer.
All of the watch’s sub-dials, as well as its bezel, are painted with a luminous coating of the finest possible quality. This luminous paint ensures that you will have the ability to easily read your watch’s display even while making flights through the night. The luminous sub-dials and bezel are paired with hands and hour markers coated in a light-emitting material known as tritium. Tritium, through its slight radioactivity, allows the hands and hour markers of the AOPA Pilot’s Chronograph to continuously emit light for up to two and a half decades.
