OCEAN7 and its sister brand AirNautic, are well known for making sport and dive watches with a variety of styles and quite a few models have been seen on Watch Report in the past. After so many dive and aviation watches it was surprising to see a modern dress watch come from OCEAN7 but they have made one and its known simply as The Classic. We  have two examples to show you today one is the OCEAN7 variant dressed in PVD with a standard movement and the other is the AirNautic version sporting a 24hr movement and blued steel hands. Its always nice to see a sport watch manufacturer design and build a dress watch as they enter the design process with everything they have learned making watches that have to be capable of withstanding far more than the standard dress watch typically encounters. The Classic and Classic 24 may be in the same case and from sister companies, but these are two rather different watches.

Review of the AirNautic AN-24 Pilot

by admin on February 4, 2010

in AirNautic,Aviation Watches,Watch Reviews,Watch Videos

An24 main2 It's very rare to come across a
watch designed with a singular style and aesthetic, but the example we have
in today reflects a tradition of Swiss aviation watches. The AirNautic
AN-24 Pilot is an automatic pilots watch that features a time-proven design
and the backing of a familiar brand.

The AirNautic brand was founded by
Mitch Feig of OCEAN7 Watch Co in order to preserve the aesthetic created by
Yantar watches. Their distinctive 24-hour dial and bright contrasting
colors have carried over under Mitch's guidance, and has allowed a new audience to enjoy a very cool design. We jumped at the opportunity to review the AN-24 Pilot, and here's why:

  • ETA 2893-2 24-hour timekeeping. (The dial is based on 24-hours rather than 12.)
  • 41.5mm wide and 11.75 mm tall.
  • Flat sapphire crystal with internal AR coating.
  • Screw down crown.
  • 100m (330ft) water resistance.
  • 20mm lugs.
  • Black leather strap with
    signed buckle.
  • Date window at 4 o'clock position.
