The Sector II Pilot is a modern interpretation of the aviation watch. Designed with pilots and globetrotters in mind, the Sector II Pilot incorporates all the principle features that are essential for the cockpit - a day-date complication, countdown bezel, and bold markings for easy time-telling.

The Sector II Pilot features frosted applied indices filled with SuperLuminova for extra visibility at night. The bezel width has increased to 40mm for easier grip, and the bezel mechanism has been upgraded to a 120-click uni-directional piston system for precise countdown timing. 

The Sector II’s case and crystal have been meticulously re-engineered and redesigned to achieve a thinness of 11.7mm - one of the slimmest Seiko NH-based designs ever made - all while maintaining 100m water resistance. A robust box-shaped sapphire crystal allows the dial and hands to sit closer to the glass compared to conventional crystal shapes. With the hands and dial pushed up into the glass cavity, the result is an extremely efficient design and a high-end aesthetic.
