Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a flieger watch?
- Flieger (German for "aviator") describes a style of pilot's watch developed in the 1940s and 1950s. Key features include large Arabic numerals, a prominent bezel, oversized crown, and maximum dial legibility. The Newton Pilot draws directly from this tradition.
- Is the Newton Pilot water resistant?
- Yes. Standard models are water resistant to 100m - suitable for swimming and everyday use. It is not a dedicated dive watch; for diving, see the Ternos or Argonautic collections.
- What movement powers the Newton Pilot?
- The 3-hand model uses a Swiss automatic movement (ETA 2824-2 or Sellita SW200), approximately 38-hour power reserve. The Rally and Pilot Chronograph use a Swiss automatic chronograph caliber with flyback function.
