Davosa Newton Pilot Day-Date Automatic Watch

The Davosa Newton Pilot Day-Date Automatic Watch is a handsome, highly legible watch that brings a rich aviation history aesthetic to a dressier piece While the Swiss independent brand Davosa may well be known for its highly functional, robustly made tool watches, this piece, with its clear nods to the cockpit, is quite opulent by Davosa's standards That's not to say any of these three options from Davosa are hard to read, per se, but when you're designing a tool watch, its utility comes first.

The minute a watch goes down this root of aesthetic embellishment, it ceases being a tool watch and becomes an homage piece, "Inspired by" utilitarian ideals In my opinion, day/date watches live and die on the placement of the day and date readout The color-coded straps on each model are a nice touch that reinforces the idea that this is more a watch for the officers' mess hall than it is the trenches.

The Davosa Newton Pilot Day-Date Automatic Watch is powered by the modified automatic DAV 3023, which is visible through a transparent caseback window. . Source
