In 1938 they released their first chronograph wristwatch with a mono-pusher movement called the “Caliber 40”. This watch and similar models that followed became widely used by the Luftwaffe in WWII and then were officially issued by the West German Airforce in the 1950’s. One small claim to fame is that Steve McQueen was a fan of the brand and wore a model called the 417.
The case of the Pioneer Monocontrol is a slightly modern update to the classic design. http://www.replicawatchguide.co/ Measuring 42.4 (listed as 42) x 51 x 14.8mm, it’s a medium/large watch, but certainly within scope of your typical pilot’s watch. They do have a smaller series as well, with a diameter of 40mm.
Regardless of the actual size, what matters the most here are proportions, and the Pioneer is perfectly balanced. This makes it wear a bit smaller, in my opinion. The design itself is nothing fancy. The case has classic flowing contours with nice, thick lugs, slab sides and the gorgeous fluted bezel which I’ll get to shortly.
