Today we review a watch from newcomer Abingdon Watches

Today we review a watch from newcomer Abingdon Watches, a company founded by a female pilot who couldn't find a watch that she liked for flying. First off is the Jackie model:Miyota FS20 Quartz chronograph with date.Internal-bezel E6B, operated by the crown at 8 o'clock.Lumed hands and indices.At 125g and 41mm across, the Jackie is on the larger side for women's watches, but certainly quite wearable. Here you can see the screwdown caseback with protective sticker still in place.Water resistant to 50m (165ft).64 cubic zirconia stones on the bezel.Mother of pearl dial, available in pink, green or white.Oyster-style bracelet, polished center links, hollow end links, snap-lock clasp with fliplock, and 4 micro-adjustments.41.5mm across by 12mm thick; 125g with all bracelet links.Stainless steel case.Mineral crystal.Please read on for the full review and pictures. The Abingdon line was started by pilot Chelsea Welch, who wanted an aviation watch styled for women. The Jackie is just that, with the E6B inner bezel,  luminous hands, stopwatch, and anti-glare-coated crystal. Stylistically, the outer bezel of cubic zirconia is quite tasteful and somehow manages not to distract from the functional dial.The Jackie model is the largest and heaviest of the current product line, in part due to the well-made bracelet. It sports flat Oyster-style links, with a polished center section and a well-made feel. The clasp snaps, with a fliplock to keep it in place, and four micro-adjustments for incremental sizing to fit. (The watches are on loan from Abingdon, so I tried to keep them in like-new condition.) It's got a cool company logo engraved on it -- quite nice.Solving a personal problem is often the source of great ideas, so we were delighted to review their designs. You can also see the crown at eight o'clock; this operates the E6B bezel for flight calculations. As a former pilot myself, I can testify that using a bezel E6B in flight is impossible without an autopilot, and tricky even with one due to its small size and the vibration levels of a piston-powed aircraft. Realistically, you only use the wrist one as a backup to your preflight calculations, or if your computers fail. Still, a cool thing to have and a nice way to subtly declare your hobby or profession.
