Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Farer PILOT SERIES II

Owners widely praise the Farer PILOT SERIES II for its purposeful design, remarkable legibility, and trademark use of color, with many finding its 40mm case and 45mm lug-to-lug dimensions to be perfect proportions. Some owners, however, find the price steep for a grade 2 titanium watch. Opinions are divided on the minute numerals on the black dial, with some finding them less appealing, and one owner noted a misaligned Roman I index on a specific model. Overall, owners rate the Farer PILOT SERIES II highly for its modern take on the flieger watch with unique dial designs and excellent wearability.

Overall, owners rate the Islander Draken Aoraki 'Flieger' Watch with Black Dial #DKN-01 highly for its impressive feel and value at its price point.
