Comes with a Black Sunburst Dial, Saphire Crystal, Screw Down Onion Crown, Leather strap. The Companys description is below.  In a popular case size, more refined, thinner and now powered by a legendary ETA movement... After 4 years of continual improvements and **6 previous generations**, we're extremely excited to announce the latest [Geckota K-01](https://www.watchgecko.com/geckota-k-01-40mm-pilots-watch-handmade-strap) is now available on the site for pre-order. This limited run piece is the result of investing **8 months** to perfect every aspect of the design and construction, resulting in the most refined **K-01** to date which brings a whole new level of build quality. As with all pilots watches, legibility is important to the [Geckota K-01](https://www.watchgecko.com/geckota-k-01-40mm-pilots-watch-handmade-strap). To ensure maximum readability we have used large dials with crisp printed contrasting indices topped off with Swiss SuperLuminova to ensure that accurate time can be read whatever the situation.A benefit of the **K-01's** impressive case design and construction is how the hand stem has been brought right down, as well as the crystal resulting in the legibility of the timepiece being heightened even more so. We wanted the [K-01](https://www.watchgecko.com/geckota-k-01-40mm-pilots-watch-handmade-strap) to be a fantastic option for people in the market for an everyday classic looking timepiece. To accomplish this, we decided a **40mm** case diameter would be the most versatile for a range of wrist sizes and also bridges the gap between being usable day to day yet also large enough to command some presence. For a subtle yet stylish look, we have used a brushed finish on the majority of the case, which is nicely contrasted by the polished bevel. For a watch to be worn regularly and comfortably, we understand that it's not just the case width that matters but also the overall thickness of the piece. This is something we have spent a huge amount of time on with this new version of the **K-01** to ensure the watch is a usable size. Now coming in at just under [12mm](https://www.watchgecko.com/geckota-k-01-40mm-pilots-watch-handmade-strap), the new K-01 Pilots now sits on and hugs the wrist perfectly making for an incredibly enjoyable experience. Quality matters with the new [K-01](https://www.watchgecko.com/geckota-k-01-40mm-pilots-watch-handmade-strap), which is why a period correct, screw-in onion crown has been used to ensure the watch not just looks the part, but can also handle any day to day tasks you throw at it. # A Swiss first for Geckota With an immense amount of time and effort being poured into the K-01's design, the team recognised the watch deserved a renowned, high-quality reliable movement. For this, we knew it was only right to go Swiss. Our first step in the Swiss watchmaking comes in the form of the **ETA 2824-2**. This movement's reputation alone is so strong it can easily rival complete watches out there in a range of different price points (many of the higher priced pieces using the same movement). The buttery smooth inner workings of the **ETA 2824-2** results in a consistent sweep of the K-01's seconds hands at ***28,800 bph.*** # Geckota K-01 Type B 40mm ETA 2824 40mm Case49.5mm lug to lug 11.8mm tall 20mm lug width10ATM WR Screw down crownLume perfectHand wind/self winding hackingAR sapphire coated glassCase has minor scratches.
