After spending years searching for the perfect vintage pilot watch but only coming up with options that were too big, too shiny, too fragile or too branded, the team behind Redux Watch decided to make their own. The Redux COURG (pronounced “courage,” like the way point outside Washington, D.C.) watch is a robust and dependable timepiece powered by the Seiko SII caliber NH-35A movement which is rated to run for a couple decades before servicing. That workhorse movement is housed in a 39mm case made with grade 2 titanium that also features a flat sapphire crystal and a uni-directional titanium bezel with a green luminous bead. There are different face options, but each features an extremely easy to read Superluminova BGW9 (white that glows blue) face. Your pledge also gets a number of strap options (NATO nylon, leather, etc.) and input on the face variations and case back design.
