Although Norwegian watchmaker Micromilspec continues to look more and more like a regular watch brand with each passing day, the core of the brand’s business remains the custom watches it builds under contract for various military units around the world.
The first watch the brand ever produced after its founding in 2019 was a custom pilot’s watch for the Royal Norwegian Air Force’s Search and Rescue Squadron. But as Micromilspec has expanded its permanent collection of watches available to the public with divers, field watches and chronographs, there was one glaring omission. Despite beginning its life as a maker of pilot’s watches, Micromilspec had yet to offer one to the public.
That changes now, as Micromilspec has launched its first-ever pilot’s watch that anyone can buy. Turns out, it was worth the wait.
Purpose-built pilot’s watch
Micromilspec prioritizes function over form, relying on real-world feedback from military personnel in the field when building its watches. Despite that, the brand’s watches tend to look really, really good, and that trend continues with the new Dualtimer.
The watch has a sharp-angled integrated-style case similar to Micromilspec’s flagship Milgraph tool watch, but in this case, the case is made from stainless steel rather than titanium and the crown is mounted on the right instead of the left for easier manipulation while on the wrist.
