Archimede Pilot T Titanium watch: do you feel lighter now?

The German watchmaker Ickler GmbH has added yet another member to its growing Archimede family of men’s watches. Called the Archimede Pilot T (T is for Titanium here), this vintage timekeeping instrument tips the scales at meager 65g, which is 11g less than the weight of the stainless still version of this beautiful watch. And it is just €30 more expensive than the latter.

Just like the recently introduced PVD-coated Archimede Black Pilot M watch, the Pilot Titanium sports a simple and highly legible black face with large bold Arabic numerals and markers, as well hour and minute hands, all of these covered with a luminous substance. A rather small date window is located between 4 and 5 o’clock.

And like the rest of the family, the Archimede Pilot T is powered by the same ETA 2824-2 automatic movement, which is highly popular among both independent watchmakers and major premium brands.

Of course, the Pilot T is not as refined and expensive-looking as the gorgeous IWC Pilot’s Watch Double Chronograph Edition TOP GUN, but it is certainly a nice watch to have, especially considering its more than affordable price of only EUR 375.
