Hamilton 921 Based Pilot Watch 47mm

This watch has been a long time coming. I originally was going to case this watch in a bit larger 49mm standard watch case. Similar to an Omega Planet Ocean. However when making our cases for the 47mm Radiomarina that we have on the site. I had the manufacturer make some cases that were a bit larger for this size movement. I still may make one using the larger wristwatch case. I do not at this time have a dial that will work with it. From the couple posts I have made on the forums. People have been extremely excited out this piece. I want to let you know I appreciate your kind words, and share in your enthusiasm.

I enjoy fine swiss watches. I also enjoy creating things that other people appreciate. This watch for me is my new crush. I wear it daily ever since it has been put together.. It is by far my favorite what I have had the pleasure to produce.

I feel that I will need to make custom hands for this particular case. I think that I will need some more robust hands for this style of case and dial. However I feel I need to be careful not to leave out the history that the movement brings to the watch. I need to make hands that tie it together.

Please check back for more updates.


Cheers

Mike Burkard
