Montre d’Aeronef Type 20 GMT 1903
I was lucky enough this week to try on one of the final production watches of the Type 20 1903, so thought I would share some quick pictures with you (please excuse the quality, they were snapped on my phone with not too great lighting).
To me it was a bit of a disappointment. I was lucky enough to try one of the prototypes which I borrowed from Mr Dufours wrist at a dinner in NYC and the lume just looked aged/worn/dirty... a great look in my opinion even though I know there were a lot of people who did not like this. On the final watches, they seem to have tried to go for a camo lume, but have just done the numbers and left the hands as per the proto... for me this is a real spoiler and honestly I just don't think it works.
I do love the bund style strap though and the back... now that is cool!
What do you think?
Cheers
Andrew

It looks like a fashion watch and it has not got the credentials for credibility - no actual links to the Wright Brothers - a tiny movement in an oversized case. And the lume? What were they thinking with that Panzer division lume? +1 They should have stu...
