A few Q&Ds of my newly arrived Black IP Aviator by Volmax 2614 17 jewel handwound mechanical lever Poljot movement. 40mm but wears bigger. Same case and crown as used on many Aviator models but with IP treatment.  White hands and numerals on gloss black dial  Domed mineral crystal and red second hand  Killer lume like most Aviators.  I changed the strap that it came on but I am thinking of ordering a black IP bracelet for it. Nice large signed crown and winds with typical Russian roughness. For 24 hours it has gained 19 seconds so it should settle in nicely. If not I can live with that. While I like the watch and the ease with which the dial can be read it seems to be lacking that Russian "flavor" that my other Aviators possess. Maybe the hands are a little too "vanilla" and the red hand does not have the short portion painted out like the older models do. The numerals are a little too stark also and I would prefer the off white greenish tinge previously used. These are personal preferences of course. |

Thanks, Guys. Aviator watches are possibly my favorite Russian brand. This one is growing on me but I think my favorite will always be the 24 hour. Note the old style hands and the truncated second hand. Check em out, I dont think you will be sorry especially if you like smaller watches (by todays standards). They do have larger sizes BTW. Some look identical also.   Last edited on Mon Mar 24th, 2008 01:48 pm by max |

That looks great in black hand6.gif Aviator switched from the "Fortis" style hands to the chrome ones last year, right before I got my 24 hr version. I tried for quite awhile to get the hands replaced to no avail. It has since grown on me though :) Congrats! Cheers, Griff |
