Rotary Pilot Automatic Watch - GB05470/52

This automatic pilot watch features a 42mm stainless steel case with a distinctive screw-down crown engineered for operation whilst wearing gloves, a characteristic borrowed from vintage military aviation timepieces. The dial presents a functional layout with large luminous hands and bold numerals for clear visibility in low light conditions. The automatic movement incorporates a hacking seconds mechanism, allowing the second hand to stop when adjusting the time for precise synchronisation, then resume once the crown is secured.

The watch demonstrates typical pilot watch characteristics through its utilitarian design and robust construction. Water resistance and complete movement specifications are key considerations for this style of timepiece, whilst the dial design prioritises legibility over decoration. The screw-down crown mechanism provides protection for the winding stem, a practical feature originally developed for military applications.
