The 44-mm Black/White Aircraft-8 Swiss Automatic watch features a stainless steel black PVD case with beautiful white dial. The charismatic 44-mm design, with the captivating face and the large crown, set it apart from commonness, while modernizing an instrument paying homage to the pioneer pilots of the early 1900's. This watch is powered by the ETA 2824-2 Swiss automatic movement.
The Swiss automatic movement keeps perfect time and offers a power reserve just in case you find yourself lounging on a private beach somewhere and forget to wind your watch. The Sapphire crystal glass ensures security and beauty, while the sweeping second hand gracefully rotates around the elegant and prominent dial highlighted with Super-LumiNova markings.

Aircraft-8 Operating Instructions:
All things begin with the crown, which is located on the right side of the watch at the 3pm position. The crown is already in the 1st Position, which is where you "wind" or "charge" your watch, which is very important since the watch won't run accurately on wrist motion alone.
1st Position - Wind The Watch:
In the 1st Position turn the crown clockwise 25 to 30 turns. This is called "winding the watch". You probably want to do this once a week, just to make sure your watch is wound and runs smoothly.
2nd Position - Change The Date:
Pull the crown out gently to the 2nd Position. The 2nd Position is where you change the date by moving the crown clockwise slowly which advances the date one day at a time. The date doesn't turn backwards so be sure you don't pass the current date, otherwise you have to cycle through the remaining days to reach the correct date again.
3rd Position - Change The Time:
Gently pull out the crown to the 3rd Position to set the time. Once the crown is in the 3rd Position, you can change the time by moving the crown clockwise. Remember that in any given 24-hour period the hour hand will pass the 12 marking twice. When the watch is set to midnight, the passing hour hand will also change the date. Please notice that when the date changes at lunch time, the AM-PM is reversed on your watch. To solve this, simply change the time forward 12 hours, thereby changing the AM-PM relationship.
When you are done setting the date and setting the time, push the crown back to its original position. This is important, otherwise the watch won't run and water or humidity might get into the watch.
Once the watch has been wound, it will run even if you remove it from your wrist. Of course after a while, the spring that you wound by winding the crown will be unwound and the watch will stop. This will cause you to repeat the steps outlined above to once again get it running smoothly and accurately.
