While more dressy watches have been part of the Ball watch collection for most of the brand’s modern existence, I have almost exclusively focused on their interesting and dynamic range of sport watches (mostly in the Hydrocarbon or Engineer collections). That ends now, as I review the very capable and not overpriced Ball Trainmaster Moon Phase with its neat-looking glowing moon.

There are many aviation-themed watches that are created by a number of watch brands, which come in a myriad of sizes and designs. But when it boils down to the truly iconic ones, there are not many brands or collection out there that can match the ones that are produced by IWC. Not only does IWC’s Pilot’s Watches feature different styles, such as the Big Pilot or the Top Gun Ceramic, but the core models in the collection still maintain its timeless and classic design. And in this year’s SIHH, IWC had recreated an interesting reiteration of the Pilot’s Watch: the Automatic 36.
As its nomenclature suggests, this particular Pilot’s Watch is fitted with a 36mm case. This is similar to the Pilot’s Watches that IWC had produced in the past, such as the likes of Mark XI and XII. In fact, the entire watch is a reminiscence of the earlier iterations of the Mark collection, with its timeless and clean aesthetics that were so popular with collectors and military users alike. However, before we continue to drone on and on about those classic IWC Pilot’s Watches, we shall put that aside and instead focus on the star of the show today.
The case, hands and dial

The Automatic 36, at the first glance, reminds us of either a reduced version of the Mark XVIII, or a modern version of the Mark XI or XII. It retains the classic, timeless design that has been featured on countless IWC Pilot’s Watches over the years. Interestingly, it does not look outdated, despite sharing similar aesthetics to watches that have been around for a good half a century. This perhaps can be attributed to the fact that it is a simple design, and one that will not go out of style or fashion. In fact, we think that such classic watches will retain the same looks many years down the road, as it was a few decades back.
For the hard-core IWC fans, one of the main highlights of the this piece would be the inclusion of the number “9” on the dial. This bit was excluded in the Mark XVI and XVII, for some reason, to the dismay of some ardent fans. But we are glad that they have put it back into this year’s novelties, which include the stunning Mark XVIII, and it certainly makes the dial look more complete.

Another interesting aspect of the dial is its design, in which it is segregated into two portions – the inner ring with the Arabic numerals, and the outer ring that contains the minute markers. The separation makes the watch looks cleaner and allows us to tell the time a bit easier, as the hour indices are not placed too close to the minute markers.
The hands, notably, are similar to the ones that were fitted to the Mark XVIII. It is nice and definitely legible, but we feel that it would been […]

“Swiss Powered. Race Minded” is the logo of Raidillon, a small Belgian watch maker who has a knack for design and a penchant for simplicity. So much simplicity, in fact, that the majority of their watches are more or less the same with various cosmetic changes such as colors, textures, and strap choices. With that said, there are some decent values here and genuinely nice products.
