esigned with input from test pilots and astronauts and with them in mind, the Pilot Professional is a titanium analog watch with digital windows, multi-function capabilities and the added advantage of Luminox Light Technology. The Swiss Analog-Digital movement employed is the standard for pilots worldwide.
says Harry van Hulten, Founding Partner/Experimental Test Pilot XCOR Space Expeditions. “However, when I am not in the cockpit I want to look at analog time which is quicker and easier to interpret, especially in the dark. Analog time also looks cooler!” Pilots and Astronauts also appreciate the stopwatch feature with lap capability as well as the very easy to set and reset alarm.
“Pilots need digital time to synchronize their operations and accurate timing down to the second is of great importance. They also travel a lot and the GMT function enables them to easily reference local or destination time zones.”
XCOR Aerospace acquired Space Expedition Corporation, the previously independent Dutch company also known as SXC. The new sales entity is called XCOR Space Expeditions.
