Female Pilots Can Have an Aviator's Watch with Feminine Appeal
[Edit]
[Edit]
Designing watches for women aviators probably is not because of the big demand. But Abingdon Watches decided that women pilots would prefer something more trendy than a clunky man’s aviator watch. An aviator watch allows Zulu time to be set as well as local time. The Jackie, shown, has a mother-of-pearl face.  A distinctive watch is often associated with being a pilot. Many of these designs have an E6-B on the face and are able to display multiple time zones, but these are fairly large timepieces, even for a man's wrist. If you are a woman, especially one with a smaller wrist, wearing a man-sized watch has a tendency to make you look like a little girl playing dress-up.
That's what Juice Welch encountered last summer when she went looking for a watch.
"I started my private pilot training in August and noticed that all the instructors had these really cool-looking watches," she said. "I wanted one and went shopping, but I couldn't find anything that was designed for women."
