Marking The Occasion With Pilot Gifts

Do you have a high-flyer in your life, quite literally

? If you want to find a present for someone whose work or passion is all things airborne, theres a great range of pilot gifts available for the canny shopper.

If youre looking to mark a really significant moment perhaps a partner getting their wings, or an anniversary then you may want to consider getting something functional as well as attractive. Specialist aviation watches designed for use at all altitudes make ideal pilot gifts and there are plenty of options to choose from.

One brand in particular that stands out is Swiss company Torgoen, a leading name in the making of specialist timepieces for pilots. The Swiss are of course synonymous with top-quality watch-making, but Torgoen was in fact founded by a group of aviation enthusiasts. Their mission statement was to create watches especially for professional pilots and that would incorporate everything those pilots would appreciate.

As a result, their watches ingeniously incorporate many features that airmen and women might expect to find elsewhere in their planes. For instance, some watches incorporate the E6B flight computer, also known as the whiz wheel: a cunning device like a circular slide rule thats used to help calculate things like wind, correct rate of fuel use and time en route. The computer is a staple instrument in flight training and used on board many commercial aircraft, so its a highly useful thing to have strapped to your wrist.

To help those who have to jet across different time zones, many Torgoen watches feature Dual and Triple Time Zone functions. Each watch is made to the highest standard, as you would expect with the famous Swiss attention to detail and quality control. Resistant to water, dust, humidity and extremes of temperature as well as impact and vibration, these watches can handle any turbulence that comes their way, no matter how outgoing the wearer. If youre looking for a gift for a thrill-seeker is there any other kind of pilot? then theyll appreciate having a reliable Torgoen for both work and play.

There are few things more elegantly designed than watches and its fitting that the makers of these watches have an eye for style as well as function. Even on the visual design level, Torgoen watches are inspired by the technology of flight and the faces are deliberately modelled on cockpit dials, giving them a distinctive quality that makes them ideal for pilot gifts.
