Watchmaking kit - The Stirling Mark III - Matte Black- Ref. 24511

Building a mechanical watch is a challenging task, but with our complete sets you will receive the prepared components for assembly, a full tool kit and detailed step by step instructions. All you need is a steady set of hands and a bit of patience, to complete this kit! 
 
The Stirling MK III is our third iteration of a classic Pilot watch, featuring a mechanical, hand-wound ST-3600 movement. The Stirling has a large 44mm case in stainless steel (raw steel or black coated) together with a clear, easy to read Pilot dial with lume printed numerals and hour markers. The coated hour and minute hands are matched to your case choice and lume filled, while the seconds hand operates in a sub-dial at 9 o'clock and is filled with red to increase visibility. The Stirling is available on a soft Italian leather or sailcloth strap (made of extra durable Nylon fibres).  

Please note that a mechanical watch needs to be wound up via the crown every 48-50 hours to keep ticking.
