Archimede Watches Pilot ChronographvsBulova Black Dial Leather Strap A-15 Pilot 96A245

Archimede Watches Pilot Chronograph owners widely praise its value as an ETA 7750 Flieger chronograph, with a 42mm case size that some find large due to its minimal bezel, though its 13mm thickness is not considered excessive. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the brand's excellent value and case finishing, with one owner finding it a favorite second watch and good value on the pre-owned market. Some owners wish for heat-blued hands or a date at 3:00. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Archimede Watches Pilot Chronograph highly for its value as a Valjoux 7750 chronograph.

The Bulova Black Dial Leather Strap A-15 Pilot 96A245 is praised for its aesthetically gorgeous dial, which is surprisingly easy to read despite its busyness, and its dual crowns offer useful GMT and elapsed time functions. Owners and reviewers note the Miyota 82S6 automatic movement is accurate, hacking, and hand-wound, with overall case finishing rivaling Swiss pieces at its price point. The 42mm case offers a modern presence, though some find it slightly cumbersome and potentially difficult to fit under a cuff. The lume is described as weak, activating with natural light but not manufactured light, and the included leather strap is considered less than ideal for a pilot's watch. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Bulova Black Dial Leather Strap A-15 Pilot 96A245 highly for its attractive dial and useful dual crown functions at a significant value.
