Back to the roots
Instrument 91E
Guinand has been building pilot's watches since the early days of aviation. Watches, easy to read like an instrument. In our Instrument 91E we are again using a classic hand-wound movement - as was the case with the first watches for aviation from our manufactory workshop.
.
The Watch
Due to the reduction to the essentials - the time indication via 3 hands, the readability of the watch is perfect. Driven by a classic hand-wound movement.
With a diameter of 42 mm, it is a grown-up but not oversized instrument watch.
The Dial
The Guinand Instrument 91 features a matte black dial with large, easy-to-read numerals.
The dial indices and numbers are covered with white luminous color grade X1with the highest luminosity, the minute and hour hands, which are handcrafted from steel, are filled with white luminous color.
The Movement
For this pilot's watch with a decentralized second, we decided to produce a new movement variant based on the baseplate of the HS81 caliber family that we already have: the HS81.5 Each of these movements is engraved with HS81 on the baseplate and with an individual movement serial number on large bridge.
The Housing
A hand-made watch also requires a case made in this way. The finely hand-brushed housing, screwed together from three housing parts, guarantees uncompromising safety.
A slightly curved and anti-reflective sapphire glass on the dial side and a flat sapphire glass bottom ensure absolute suitability for everyday use.
Size comparison
Based on the size values, it is not easy to decide whether the watch fits the wrist, or whether it is too big or too small. To make your decision easier, we have mounted the watch on three different wrist widths that correspond to the usual sizes.
How to determine the correct strap length?
Please note that the wrists shown can only give you an approximate impression of the watch on your wrist, as the shape of the wrist is different for everyone, even if they have the same circumference.
The Strap
Solid Strap Type H Classic (Series II)
Pilot's watches require special straps - sturdy, comfortable to wear and of course they should share the high quality watch has. All leather straps with a lug width of 20mm are suitable for this watch. The pictures show the watch with the robust and soft, anthracite color wild boar leather strap, which is available in standard and XL length. For watch enthusiasts who prefer metal straps - our Type H Klassik metal strap is the right metal strap for this model.
