![]() ![]() I personally love the bright blue second hand. It’s quickly readable at a glance, and the hands have matching lume and are in perfect proportion with the case and dial markings. You get big, bold numerals and a triangle at 12 o’clock. The dial boasts classic pilot watch utility. As is stands, the Damasko Timeless DB1 delivers incredible value and accuracy, with timeless looks and top-notch fit and finish. Also, an in-house day/date movement would push the DB1’s price well beyond the $1,300 mark. I disagree with the sentiment as the 2836 is a solid movement and very easy to repair. Placed flat on its back during the night, my watch is gaining less than one second per day. Incidentally, some watch fanatics may wish for an in-house German movement. Due to the solid case back (appropriate for a pilot’s watch), I have no view of the movement finishing, but I’m extremely pleased to say that this watch is very accurate. Inside the case you’ll find the workhorse Swiss ETA 2836-2 movement. The Damasko Timeless DB3 will kick things up to 42mm.) In a world where many pilot watches are apparently designed for giants, I’m thrilled to own one that fits like a glove. My wrists are on the smaller side, and I’m constantly frustrated by today’s larger watches (especially those with longer lugs). Once considered over-sized (whatever that means), 40mm is almost conservative by today’s standards. This is a watch that was meant to be worn, and with a 100 meters of water resistance and an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, you can wear it in almost any setting.Īiding the wearability is its manageable 40mm case size. Unlike any phone, the hardened steel will take a lot of punishment. ![]() The color and satin finish also remind me of the Space Grey iPhone. The case is made from nickel-free ice-hardened steel. It’s not ornate, but I’ve seen watches at five times the cost in lesser packaging, and I appreciate the attention to detail. It arrived in a very nice black lacquer box. The Damasko Timeless DB1 is a German pilot watch that combines classic German styling, proven Swiss reliability, and some innovative materials. This watch is a stunner, and I’m still in shock that I actually won such a wonderful prize!
