Waltham A17NG first owner impressions and images

The MIL-W-6433 compliant Waltham A17 pilot watch is currently being dispatched  and is now also available from stock with immediate delivery.

The first images made by the owners are coming in as well as their initial impressions. Here they are:

The overall consensus is that the proportions are very well balanced and the slimness of the watch (given by the very slim 3.60mm, premium Soprod M100 r4 regulated movement) does not pass unnoticed - and is very much appreciated — because this definitely sets this high-end watch in another category from lower end A-17 look-alikes, if you are a watch connoisseur and have the eye for such things.

Another observation is the precision with which time can be read. This bears witness to the quality of the original design of the A17 whose main objective was just that!

Additionally, the luminous is extremely strong. If worn at night the numerals and hands are lit up in the dark even after hours or a nights sleep.

As you can see, some owners made use of the easy change system of the strap to mount their preferred aftermarket strap to personalise the watch.

The A17 is now available from stock with immediate delivery from Watchangels prices start at CHF (Swiss Francs) 1.350.
