Spitfire Type 300 Automatic Pilot Watch

The Spitfire Type 300 Automatic Pilot Panel is a 42 mm stainless steel field watch driven by a Japanese automatic movement with a small-seconds register. Its cream dial features numeric-stick markers and a tarmac tracker for clear legibility. The exhibition case back reveals the movement, appealing to enthusiasts who appreciate mechanical detail. It suits daily wear for those valuing aviation heritage and tool-like design.

50 m Water Resistance and Daily Capacity

Rated to 50 m, the watch handles splashes, rain and brief immersion but is not suited for swimming or diving. The sapphire crystal resists scratches, preserving dial clarity over time. A deployment clasp secures the integrated stainless steel bracelet, while the 22 mm lug width allows strap changes if desired. The two-hand layout with small seconds covers essential timekeeping without date or chronograph functions.

Thermals Noise and Power in Normal Use

The automatic movement runs on wrist motion, eliminating battery changes and producing no audible noise or heat. No winding crown operation is needed during regular wear, and the fixed bezel adds no mechanical complexity. The solid stainless steel case and bracelet maintain a neutral temperature against the skin. The see-through case back offers visual access to the rotor without affecting thermal performance.

Questions about this item

Will the 22 mm lug width let me swap the stainless steel bracelet for a leather strap I already own?

Yes, the 22 mm lug width is a common size so most aftermarket leather straps will fit directly.

How can I verify the automatic movement is running correctly once I put the watch on?

The small-seconds sub-dial should advance smoothly each second and the see-through case back lets you watch the rotor oscillate.

Does the box include a tool for adjusting the deployment clasp or must I buy one separately?

The watch ships with the bracelet fitted and a standard micro-adjust deployment clasp; no extra tool is required for on-wrist sizing.
