This watch is brand new but one of three from the ILA Berlin Air Show (Internationale Luft- und Raumfahrtausstellung) hence the packaging might be a bit soiled and the watch has been tried on by a few clients but we have checked them both thoroughly and everything is fine and both are in as new condition.

This MWC Ltd Edition Classic Aviator watch is one of MWC's classic WW2-style Pilot watch models.
The Classic Aviator range is based on military designs from the 1940s and 1950s. Some models feature a subsidiary dial for the second hand, which was common in the 1940s, while others, like this model, have a sweep second hand—a design that became more prevalent from around 1943. These design variations allow you to choose a watch that suits your personal preferences.
With an extra-large case size of 46mm (excluding the crown), this timepiece has a bold presence that attracts favorable attention, especially from other watch enthusiasts. The large dial size makes the watch easy to read both day and night, just as the original WWII watches were designed for.
This model is powered by a traditional automatic 24-jewel NH35A mechanical movement, visible through the clear caseback, with a 41-hour power reserve when fully wound.

Case Material: 316L stainless steel
Crown: Screw-down

Why choose sapphire crystal?
Sapphire crystal is superior for watch crystals because it is extremely durable, shatter-resistant, and scratch-resistant. These qualities make it popular among military personnel, security officers, police officers, and active outdoor enthusiasts—groups that account for over 70% of our customers. In our experience, over 90% of cracked crystals are on watches with mineral glass, and even hardened mineral crystals do not offer the same durability as sapphire. Sapphire crystals are heat-treated to remove internal stresses, and two layers of anti-reflective coating are applied, making them even stronger. While sapphire comes at a premium price, it is often reserved for higher-end watches due to its superior durability, and it's now used in the latest iPhone models.
