That looks like it was taken from a cockpit. I usually don't find that much stuff on the dial appealing but that is sharp.

Wow, that dial is really mint condition.

Love that gilt

Thanks! It's got nice wrist presence as well and the 302 movement's not too shabby either. 😀

Manages to still hold its own against more illustrious competition 😉

Correct me if I am wrong but does the term "gilt" not refer to gold?

So, the exact definition gilt is the past tense of gild and describes a specific technique of applying gold foil or leaf to certain surfaces like painted wood or metal.

With regard to watches, the term is a little more broad and is used to describe the application of any precious metal (usually gold or silver) to watch dials.

Perhaps a watchmaker could better explain but I think I've got it 😀

To the tune of Pet Shop Boys' "Paninaro":

In recognition of Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth and Veterans Day in the US, I went with the Marathon MSAR. Respect to all those that have served.
