How to better appreciate the Senator Navigator Pilot for Rimowa, than diving in the Past of the B.UHR? Look at thes blue hands, this thin and big Second Hand, this clean dial, all is there, as an Hommage to the B.UHR: The Lange: ( Found this pic on the ne...  

i love the hands on the G O. In the IWC line, the big pilot is an icon. It has its fan club that are very faithfull to it. Lovely watch, simple, chic and sporty,... something romantic about it In that line, i think IWC hold the top spot Karim

. . . the development of the Senator Navigator line, Nicolas, although it's a bit sad that the nexus between the classic B-Uhr designs and their modern G O descendants hasn't been made more explicit. In my humble opinion, the B-Uhr designs are the most ae...  

... the 2006 Big pilot in WG. I found that pics on the net, it shows best The slate grey dial works with the light superbly. The crown is sooooo ... Ok, then again, you got a point with the G O....  

Agree that the dial is very nice, but not a bit too spohisticated? And this power reserve indicator..Heeeerm...lacks a bit of purity, to me... Best, Nicolas

. . . but it veers more towards a modern interpretation of the B-Uhr model than G Os almost literal incarnation of the originals; as my Dad would say, 'Very similar but completely different' . . . cordially, Art

I like your GO Senator Navigator very much.  I am on the waiting list for its poor country cousin, the Stowa Airman Original.  IMO it's an appealing modern interpretation of the classic 1940s B-uhr from one of the original companies commissioned to make t...  

Thanks for sharing! We absolutily agree: The Senator Navigator is a nearly perfect pilot's watch. And there is one important thing: It was manufactured in peacetime Best regards Martina & Gerd

It is not nearly a perfect Pilot watch, it is A perfect Pilot watch, respecting the roots of these tools, their legibility, their simplicity. With a very nice and accurate movement, too. What else? I'm totally in Honey moon with it! Best, Martina and Gerd... 

No message body

But I doubt so... Too much work, nowadays, which is a good thing if I want to add some more watches in my collection. I'm sure we'll have another opportunity to meet, actually. Best Nicolas

about modern interpretations. there are too many B-Uhr watches around, nearly every company makes one from Stowa to GO and upwards. they look good, but i cant see myself buying one. thought i'd throw some Laco original pics into the mix. at 55mm its impos...  

And with a bit of luck, maybe I will get one, one day... Not to wear it at work, but just for the pleasure of owning one of these monstruous watches, to look at them every time I want to, to listen to their stories... Wait, my Psy is calling again.. Best,... 

thats exactly what i did with mine. you've read the pilot watch post from several months ago. there's a lot of passion and emotion behind a military collection. their story is possibly more important than their mechanics. best Graham

Nice photos. Thanks for posting. There is just eomething so classic about vintage pilot watches, or the modern GO Navigator lineup. I know it might sound cooky, but when I strap on a vintage pilot watch, I feel like I am traveling back in time, getting re...
