Thank you so much for the wonderful watch. I have attached a few pictures of me wearing the Nav-B Limited Edition. The SN is 006/200 which is a perfect match for the USAF T-6 Texan II. I am learning to be a T-6 instructor pilot who will teach new pilots to become professional Air Force aviators and officers.
I've worn the Nav-B daily since it arrived in May. Everything from the engraved plaque, the collectors box, the wrapping, the case, the crown, everything has been terrific. I'll even "wind the watch" sometimes while flying with my gloves on, and I know why the crown is designed the way it is... for the grip required with gloves on. The lume is great at night while out-and-about in town. I have received many compliments about how good looking of a watch it is. I explain to the other pilots about the heritage of the watch and that brings a greater appreciation for what a magnificent piece of artwork the watch is. I wear the watch while flying and the timing and accuracy is amazing. We need good accuracy for the time hack at the start of our briefings, our "step time" leaving the squadron to pre-flight the jet, formation check-in, and takeoff times. The beauty of the watch and the elegance of the design correlate well to the heritage of the propeller aircraft I fly now. Our T-6 is very similar in handling to WWII era aircraft with the same power to weight ratio. I was wearing the watch while "cloud chasing" other day in formation and was thinking about the pilots before us who wore a Nav-B and felt an even stronger connection to aviation's past heroes. Thank you for making such a wonderful watch! Kindest Regards, Capt Steve Freedman, USAF
