Fighter Pilot Timepieces

The Helgray Hornet Watch Looks Like a Superior Piece of Equipment

There's certainly no shortage of watch designs on the market to suit every outfit or style and more, but there are few out there like the Helgray Hornet Watch, which takes on the style aesthetic of 80s fighter pilots to up it's level of badass. Featuring a dual timezone capability, the Helgray Hornet Watch is a reliable timepiece that's crafted from stainless steel with a sapphire crystal faceplate to ensure durability.

The Japanese quartz Miyota 1L45 movement inside the Helgray Hornet Watch means it'll never have to be serviced and requires almost no maintenance. Priced so competitively that they're sure to sell out once they start selling (they're currently funding on Kickstarter), the Helgray Hornet Watch is a great piece for amateur or advanced watch collectors.
