LOVE IT. Got it in this afternoon and immediately threw it on my wrist. The watch wears just fine as the pictures below indicate. My wrist is approx 7.25". The lugs don't over hang although it's right at the edge. (pics are deceiving) The strap is a four buckle zulu (ACU gray w/ low lite hardware) so it sits off my wrist a bit. The crown is no where near my wrist. No digging noted. Lume is great. It's hard to capture the true brightness/dullness of the lume without making it seem super bright but it's pretty good so far. Not bad for 195 smackeroos. PS- Don't expect an extravagant job with the packaging. It came preinstalled with a black mil series strap inside a watch taco. Simple. Edit to add: Watch was zero'd out at 2000 hrs. Time to track the loss/gain.      Last edited on Wed Jun 22nd, 2011 09:26 pm by 21411 |

Thanks! This is my third pilot watch. I used to not like them at first but of course over time they have grown on me. Just something about the simplistic nature of them.. |

Thanks guys. Woops, forgot to mention it. The Maratac Pilot contains a Miyota 8245. Handwinding, non-hacking.. Screw down crown. Citizen says the accuracy is -20/+40 per day. I've only worn it 4 hours since receiving it. I also let it sit for roughly 7 hours dial up. So far it is +8. I'll update tonight once I hit the 24 hr mark. It's rated to 10 ATM. It's 46mm without the crown, 54 from tip to tip of the lugs, 12.5 thickness, lug width is 22. Last edited on Thu Jun 23rd, 2011 07:54 am by 21411 |

That crown looks sooooo cool. From one of the pictures it looks like the crown sits against the case on an angle. Could just be the angle of the pic, but it looks pretty darn awesome. Heck of a nice piece. |

I think I like Desert Tan better. Looks more "military" and field issued.  And totally off topic, my TSAR on a new Maratac Bond. I didn't know Maratac made these colors until I found it at a vendor. Had to have it.  |

Well the out of the box accuracy logging has been completed. I know this puppy needs more time on the wrist but I wanted to see how it did from the box to the wrist so to speak. Day 1: +16 (7 hrs dial up; 17 hrs worn) Day 2: +17 (9 hrs dial up; 15 hrs worn) Day 3: +17 (9 hrs dial up; 1 hr on winder; 14 hrs worn) Day 4: +15 (10 hrs on winder; 1 hr dial up; 13 hrs worn) Day 5: +22 (21 hrs on winder; 2 dial up; 1 hr worn) Day 6: +21 (9 hrs dial up; 15 hrs worn) Day 7: +24 (10 hrs dial up; 14 hrs worn) Surprisingly the last 3 days of the initial logging indicated that the time was speeding up. My activities varied with the watch on each day. Out of the box accuracy isn't exceptional but it isn't bad either. I'll continue to keep my eye on it throughout the month. I really don't see it slowing down. A trip to the watchmaker is on order once I feel it's time. With that said, this is well below the specifications set for this movement, so far. I'll start to play with resting positions later on to see if I can slow the movement down a bit when I'm not wearing it. With that said, I still love this watch. It's received nice complements so far. I think this is a keeper. It's clean, easy to read, and wears nice. Note: Hours on winder is not actual winding hours. My winder goes 6 mins on, 30 mins off cycle. |
