The difference between an automatic watch and an electronic watch is like the difference between automatic and stick transmissions. They’re both acceptable in the eyes of the general public, but one is inherently cooler. In the case of watches, automatic is the way to go. If this Automatic Maratac Pilot Watch were a car, it would be the one with blacked out everything that’s debadged and rolling on nice rims. Privately contracted for a “local agency,” this matte black face, Miyota 21 jewel movement is a little bit James Bond and a little bit Fast and the Furious.
