The MACH 1 Pilot collection welcomes a vibrant addition with the Silk Scarf, introducing a fresh dial color to our iconic lineup. While aviation watches typically embrace a monochromatic aesthetic, the Silk Scarf breaks the mold by offering a unique and eye-catching color called Aerobloom, all while preserving the essential character of a Pilot watch. This distinctive dial is designed to captivate attention, with black numerals on a pink background ensuring excellent contrast and visibility during daylight hours. To maintain visibility in the dark, bright Super-Luminova® pips mark each hour, creating a striking visual effect.
The dial’s light grain texture adds a subtle luster and dimension, best appreciated up close. The Silk Scarf becomes a versatile and standout addition to your watch collection.
BACKSTORY OF THIS WATCH: In 1936, the aviation landscape witnessed a groundbreaking moment when 21-year-old Sarla Thukral took control of a Gipsy Moth aircraft, clad in a saree. This small trainer aircraft marked the stage for Mrs. Thukral to achieve her first solo flight, making her the first Indian woman to obtain a flying license.
Aviation, especially for women, was an unconventional career choice in mid-century India. The economic liberalization of the 1980s triggered a cultural shift, leading to more women pursuing aviation careers in various roles, including flight operations, ground staff, engineering, and air-traffic control.
In the present day, India stands at the forefront of global aviation, with an impressive 15% of aviation pilots being women, a threefold increase compared to the global average of 5%.
As female pilots and aviation professionals traverse the globe, they not only ensure the safety and efficiency of travel but also serve as inspirational role models for a new generation. They carry with them the dreams and aspirations of countless young girls, providing a source of inspiration.
In the early days of aviation, pilots often wore silk scarves. Today, these scarves adorn the necks of many flight crews, symbolizing the freedom to soar through the skies.
The MACH 1 Silk Scarf is a tribute to the women of Indian aviation, encapsulating their spirit and celebrating their remarkable contributions to the field.
