PILOT WATCHES BY
JS WATCH CO. REYKJAVIK

At JS Watch Company Reykjavik, we design classic-inspired pilot watches rooted in aviation heritage and built for modern reliability.

From early aviation to North Atlantic rescue missions, pilot watches were created as functional instruments. They had to be readable at a glance, dependable in harsh conditions, and built to perform without compromise.

At JS Watch Company Reykjavik, we interpret this tradition through Icelandic craftsmanship and mechanical precision. Each watch is assembled by hand in our Reykjavik workshop and designed to serve as a reliable companion in demanding environments.

Below is an introduction to our aviation inspired timepieces.

Few aircraft are as iconic as the Douglas DC-3, known in Iceland for its role in transport, rescue missions, and rugged reliability.
