Seen here a few times - the 1953 Omega Pilot tool
Apr 14, 2023,13:13 PM
It was in May 1962 while wearing an issued 1953 Omega Pilot watch that I first flew the DH Chipmunk in RAF service. That watch was regrettably handed back when I retired from the RAF in 1971.
Eight years ago I bought this watch shared here and am privileged to regularly fly a friend's private Chipmunk again. It is my tool to accompany me on the few small aeroplanes that I fly. Simple, uncluttered dial and hands assist in accurate aerial navigation.
After its last service, it is remarkably as accurate a time-keeper as my issued one was in the 1960's but definitely no longer as water resistant.
It remains a joy to wear and preserve.
HAGWE!
