Charles
Verified Customer ReviewsNamed after Charles Lindbergh, this pilot watch honors one of aviation’s most defining figures. Lindbergh’s solo flight across the Atlantic demanded precision, endurance, and absolute trust in his instruments - principles that define every true pilot’s watch. The Charles is built with that same clarity and purpose: legible, dependable, and made for those who navigate with confidence. The Griffith Pilot Classic draws directly from early aviation timepieces — oversized, highly legible, and built for purpose. With its bold dial layout, small-seconds subdial, and signature crown design, it captures the essence of vintage pilot watches while delivering a modern, hand-finished execution. This is a watch defined by heritage and presence.

“Built for the Life you Live.”
The Charles is powered by a hand wound mechanical movement with a small seconds subdial at nine o’clock, visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback. Daily winding turns wearing the watch into a tactile ritual and connects the owner directly to the pulse of the movement.
A 44mm polished stainless steel case frames a matte black dial with bold Arabic numerals, an inner twenty four hour track, a sunken small seconds subdial, and the signature gold Griffith G. An oversized onion crown makes winding easy and a brown suede strap with contrasting stitching completes a vintage aviation aesthetic.
Named for Charles Lindbergh, the Charles delivers true pilot watch proportions with commanding wrist presence and a manual wind experience built for mechanical purists. It is a distinctive piece from an independent brand that honors the precision and trust early aviators placed in their instruments.
