I have the squadron commander model, I got about a year ago. It is a fairly new brand, all of their watches are swiss made. Almost all use ETA movments. the construction on them is amazing, really tough watches. the bracelet on mine is really beefy and thick and the clasp is second to none. Mine is quartz so accuaracy is not an issue, but it had ran perfectly for a year. I really like the pilots watches they have. I would reccomend them to anybody, I think I paid under $400 for this one. I say go for it

If i cant i will go with a cheaper model..
