Hello, CWC,

For sale is my Archimede 45mm Pilot. I am second owner and purchased this here on CWC about a year ago from original owner.
The original owner purchased this watch in 2012 direct from Archimede and had it imported to Canada.
I have enjoyed this watch and would not be selling it if I hadn’t purchased several more flieger/pilot watches since then.
I have since acquired a Laco Dortmund and a Stowa Flieger Klassik, so the Archimede, as fine of a watch as it is, does not get any wrist time at all now.

Note:

1. The previous owner had the outer AR removed as it was starting to peel, from what he told me. There are no issues whatsoever with the crystal – please see photos.

2. The original leather strap was quite worn so I had salvaged the hardware (deployment and rivets) and had a new custom made strap made by KC from Canadian Bespoke Strapworks (cadstraps) using the Archemede hardware. The strap is made of genuine water snake leather and suits the watch very well in my opinion. The strap is like new, I would conservatively rate it at 95% with very minimal signs of wear as I mostly worn the watch on nato straps and occasionally on the water snake.

Condition of the watch itself is very good; there are very minimal signs of wear that would be expected from normal use – see photos. Nothing wrong mechanically, hands align perfectly, winding is smooth and no issues with timekeeping.

Now to the specs:
Movement: Automatic movement SW 200-1, Swiss Made
ICKLER Case: The high-quality case is manufactured by ICKLER in Pforzheim.
Brushed, sapphire crystal with antireflective coating, screw down seethrough case back), pilot's crown, water resistant to 5 ATM, diameter 45 mm, thickness 10 mm, lug-to-lug length 53 mm
Dial - Black, with luminous numerals and indexes
Blue hands with white luminous material (not sure if it’s C3 or BG9)

The watch comes with box only as it came when I received it from original owner.

If you have any questions or would like more photos, please let me know.

Not looking for any trades at this time.

Price: $500 via EMT, includes shipping with tracking

I have been a member on here for few years now with several sales and purchases. I am also an active member on WUS for many years.

Thanks for looking.

Weekend bonus add!!! Sorry guys but i won't lower the price, but i will add two straps to sweeten the deal!

Adding a brand new Blue Shark nato strap and another used black two piece Zulu by Maratac strap. Plus a few fresh pics...

Get it before i change my mind, it's a great grab and go especially on the nato, quick changeover and its like another watch.

Ok, lets try this:

I am adding an OEM Laco pilot strap (from my Dortmund) that is in very good condition. This is a thick dark brown riveted genuine leather strap with Laco buckle. The watch feels and looks awesome on it, i am almost having second thoughts on selling it now...almost :)

The two Blue Shark nato straps are no longer included with this deal.

$450 shipped OBO

Relisted: Archimede Pilot 45mm Auto (SW200-1)

Back up for sale as I have something else incoming and need to make room and recover some funds...

Price is firm at $350 via EMT (tracked shipping included) The watch is in same condition as when originally posted. I have worn it once since then, and its currently mounted on Laco brown leather riveted pilot strap that came off my Dortmund.

What you get is the watch, box, custom made watersnake leather strap with original Archimede hardware installed in near mint condition, used two piece black Zulu strap, new Blue/White BlueShark Nato strap and the slightly used Laco strap with lots of live left.

If you would like fresh pictures please message me with email address and will send them to you.
