{"title":"Classic 46mm XL Pilots Watches","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Classic aviator range consists of four models each of which is a limited edition of just 150 pieces - once sold these models will never be made again. The watch is based on German military designs from the 1940s and 50s and two models have a traditional second hand within a subsidiary dial above 6 o'clock which was a common design feature 70 years ago and we also make two models with sweep second hand. The extra large case size of 46mm \/ 1.81\" (excluding the crown) diameter makes this a very impressive timepiece. The watch uses a traditional automatic 22 jewel mechanical movement which is visible through the clear caseback and has the MWC logo engraved on the rotor.\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mwc-classic-46mm-limited-edition-xl-pilots-watch-4","title":"MWC Classic 46mm Limited Edition XL Automatic Military Pilots Watch with Sapphire Crystal","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"124\" data-end=\"146\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"124\" data-end=\"146\"\u003eSKU Code: CLIX\/SH2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"148\" data-end=\"427\"\u003eThe MWC Classic Aviator range draws its inspiration directly from the iconic pilot watches of the 1940s.
