Fantastic $100 Budget Pilot Watch | Escapement Time Flieger Type-B Review

Escapement Time is a new brand, but I'm going to say it right now - this could be the best budget pilot watch under $100!

Get the Escapement Time Flieger on AliExpress:

Mechanical Version (PT5000 Movement) ▶ https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mOv...

This Escapement Time is my first proper flieger after my gateway watch, the Seiko SNK809. I never understood the pull of these watches until recently. This budget flieger is part of an upcoming glut of AliExpress watch reviews on my channel.

"Flieger” is the German word for “pilot”. These German B-Uhr pilot watches were worn by the German Luftwaffe in WWII and came in 2 dial combinations; Type-A and Type-B. The one I have with me today is the Type-B dial.

P.S. This definitely looks like a good Laco Aachen or Stowa homage if you're in the market for one.
