Years ago, when I worked in an office, it was down to me to organise a whip round for birthdays, retirements. leaving do's, etc.
One of the team was getting married and I had been and collected the money but was unsure what gift to buy.
"How about glasses?" someone suggested..
"I don't know her prescription," I replied.
Much hilarity ensued and so off to the shops I went to purchase some beautiful drinking crystal.

A few years ago, a friend called me and asked;
"Are you still looking for your parents?"
"Sorry?" I gulped, panic rising.
"Are you still looking for your parents?" my friend patiently repeated.
I was racking my brains to get my head around what she was asking. Had they both gone senile since I last saw them? It was only last weekend. Why was she the one to ask me? I was so confused until I suddenly recalled she worked in an estate agent's and I had listed their details with her six months beforehand.
"Erm, no," I blushed, thankful we were talking on the phone. "They found a house, thank you."
That said, I understand that most of these watches will never see the inside of a cockpit. There are roughly 665,000 pilots in the United States and 329 million people, and the US is link one of the most popular countries in the world to earn link a pilot's license. If IWC only positioned the watch for pilots, they'd link be selling to a very limited market.

Inside that link case we find that Momentum is using an Epson/Seiko AB12A movement, which is where we start to get into more of the modern updates for the UDT Eclipse, including solar power, a larger and more legible digital screen, and the ability to have the analog hands sync with the digital time display link (woohoo!). The movement offers the usual host of digital-derived features, including a link second time zone, a chronograph, an alarm, and more.
