Owners talk.

“

Archimede Watches Pilot 45 is widely praised for its value and craftsmanship, with owners appreciating the clean design and the brand's reputation. The 45mm case is noted as fitting well on larger wrists, and some find it wears comfortably even on smaller wrists due to its lug-to-lug length. One owner specifically likes the blue dial. Timekeeping varies, with one report of poor performance and intermittent stopping, while another owner states it runs at about +10 seconds per day. A reviewer noted the desire for an anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal. Overall, owners rate the Archimede Watches Pilot 45 highly for its value and build quality, despite some variability in timekeeping.
