Just A Minute With The Waltham A17 Pilot – Windup Watch Shop

That brings us to 2023, when Waltham re-introduced the iconic A17 Pilot Watch for contemporary standards. A completely faithful revival of that original A17, the modern iteration bears fully lumed numerals and a 24-hour inner track for maximum legibility and cockpit functionality, powered by a Swiss-made Soprod M100 automatic movement. For historical accuracy, the A17 omits the day-date function, opting instead for a clean dial design, paired with a compact but modern 40mm case. The domed sapphire crystal keeps the look vintage, and the screw-down crown helps secure 100 meters of water resistance, giving the A17 true adventure watch status.

Several colorways and strap options are available for the A17, with black and silver case finishes, and black, blue, or green dial options. We’ve chosen the green dial on a green Cordura strap for the ultimate historically-accurate but functionally contemporary look. If you’re a history buff, a military watch enthusiast, or just someone who likes adventure, be it on land, in the sky, or anywhere else life takes you, the Waltham A17 Pilot may be just the watch for you.
