Pilot steel finishing

[shiraz]

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to have the Pilot 42 mm model with the finely brushed steel case of the Pilot XL and what is the price for this special order?

Thanks!

Hello shiraz,

Right now we cannot offer this. The Pilot 42 as well as the Pilot 39 case do
not have a separate bezel and so are not suitable for brushing.

Yet for the future we are planning to make these cases in a 3-piece
construction same as the Pilot 45 and the give the case a brushed surface.
As this case will be more expensive the price for the watches will be
accordingly higher. The first case we will change is the one for the Pilot
39. We suppose to have it ready beginning of 2012.

Hello Manuel,

Thanks for the information. Do you think to have the Pilot 42 in beginning 2012 too?

[Manuel Hoenig]

Hi shiraz,

For the Pilot 42, this case will probably be available mid of 2012.

Ok nice!

And last question: do you project to make a mechanical Pilot like the 45 mm one but in 42 mm, with brushed steel case too of course?

[Manuel Hoenig]

Hi shiraz,

In fact this would be a nice watch. For the time being we do not have plans for this model with the Eta 6498 movement, may be in future. But we will make a limited edition with an old Junghans handwound movement and a 42mm, brushed case. It should come in the 1st quarter of 2012.
