As the title says, I dropped my Pilot Pioneer from about waist height onto asphalt and dinged the crystal real good at 3 o’clock. I don’t really mind that because I think bruises match the military aesthetic anyway, but I was worried about the movement. I’ve been tracking it for the last few days and it is coming in at +3s/day. I’ve heard people brag about the accuracy on their Hamiltons but mine never really achieved anything better than just inside spec (+/- 12-15s per day). I guess all it took was a force to knock it into COSC standards.

Pictured here on a whiskey shell cordovan strap which I think is a terrific combo.

Was going to specifically ask about the strap, looks fantastic. Where'd you get it from? It fits the Hamilton aesthetic perfectly.

Don’t you mean METAS since it’s still cased up? :p

I accidentally magnetized my watch and now it runs +2 seconds from -12 second per day haha
