Inspired by the 100th Anniversary of aviation, the stainless steel Accutron Eagle PilotÕs watch for men (model 26B63) delivers pinpoint precision, superior reliability, and serious style. This superbly engineered Swiss-made chronograph offers a precision dual-hand flyback chronograph for unlimited incremental readings, with cumulative minute and split-second subdials.

The off white dial offers three tonal chronograph subdials, full Arabic numeral display in blue, large luminous hands (with seconds hand), and a date window at 4 o'clock.

Reliability Problems with the Accutron Eagle Pilot's Watch
I have had this watch for a little over two years. Visually, it's a sharp-looking watch, but in terms of reliability, I've found it very frustrating. Twice, I've had the flyback second hand jam. The first time, it was just a couple of weeks after I bought the watch, and the jeweler replaced the watch. The second time was about two months ago. The watch is still under warranty, so I sent it back to Accutron. It came back in even worse shape than when I sent it in! The jeweler has sent it back again, and Accutron is supposedly going to rush it, but I expect a chronograph this expensive to work much more reliably than this one has. It's interesting. Just a few years ago, Accutron had a 25-year warrantly on its watches. By the time I bought this watch, the warrantly was down to 5 years, and more recently, Accutron has reduced the length of its warranty to the industry standard of two years. Does this suggest that the company either knows its watches have reliability problems or is deliberately not making them as well as it used to? Either way, it's a real disappointment for a brand that used to be known as one of the most reliable on the market.

Great watch, but........
This is a beautiful watch with a great feel. I have the white faced version. I love the style and get many compliments. But about a month after I got it I noticed the the split timer hand (black hand) was no longer resetting to zero. I have done several manual adjustment to realign the hands but every time I use the stop watch feature it no longer resets to zero. Very frustrating. I expected more from Accutron and from a watch in this price range.

Better looking in real life
This looks much better in real life than any of the pictures I saw before buying. You'll probably need the link tool to resize the band which you'll most likely need to do, unless you're in those strongest man in the world competitions. On the one I received I didn't get all the directions on how to use it (but I downloaded what I needed) and it appears that the 30 minute hand is not working.
