A retro pilot's watch for your wrist: matte dial, big Arabic numerals in thick lume and sword hands you can read in one look, in full sun or in a dark cockpit.

What you get

* Rendered 3D dial lit from one light source at 11 o'clock: every numeral is a raised block of lume with a lit edge, a shaded edge and a soft shadow on the dial.

* Big, wide numerals 1 to 12 and a printed minute track with a triangle at 12. Nothing covers the numerals.

* Beveled steel sword hands with lume inlays in two shades. The lit and shaded sides swap as the hands turn, and each hand casts a shadow.

* Two dials: matte black with vintage cream lume, or gunmetal grey with white lume.

* Two hand sets: Sword and Baton.

* Seconds hand in lume color or one of five accents, or turned off.

* Optional date window at 3 o'clock and optional data at 9 o'clock: heart rate, steps, battery, Body Battery or notifications. Both off by default for a clean dial.

* Always on display on AMOLED watches: thin lume outlines of the hands and the hour markers, shifted every minute to protect the screen. No seconds, about 2 percent of pixels lit.

* Watches with a MIP (transflective) screen get a full contrast version: white numerals and hands with three clean shades, made for direct sunlight.

Data fields: heart rate, steps, battery, Body Battery, notifications.
