SOLD OUT : Brand Direct: Mitchell Timepieces - Air Commander Automatic Moonphase Collection
The Kickstarter campaign has launched.
And the Kickstarter campaign has been canceled. But direct preorders are still available.
Mitchell Timepieces has opened up preorders for their first dress watch with "pilot roots and flare," the Air Commander automatic moonphase.
This project will be moving to Kickstarter in mid-April, so unsure if pricing is better now or not.
Not sure if [mention]MitchellTime[/mention] still checks in or not, but maybe reach out to their website with any questions.

Preorder price is $725
Regular price is $949.99
Estimated delivery is summer 2021
So when I was designing this watch, I was thinking about all those old badass wing commanders, base commanders etc. . . that ride the desk because of their rank but still want to be up there flying. This watch embodies this! It's a dressier watch for us at Mitchell but it's still a true pilot. Strong legibility quick and easy to read, but a bit dressy for those desk days in blues. It's versatile like our wing commanders, aces and true leaders. This watch reminded me of those guys we take orders from, look up to and respect. The ones that do and teach. Thank you for your service!
The Air Commander is available in black or blue colorways.
*NOTE* - Framing both the moon phase and date window is on the list of improvements for the production run.
SPECS:
Movement: Sellita SW280 Automatic
Case: 316L polished case
Diameter: 40mm
Lug to lug: 44.5mm
Lug width: 22mm
Crystal: Sapphire
Lume: BGW9 Dial and Hands

Re: PREORDER: Brand Direct: Mitchell Timepieces - Air Commander Automatic Moonphase Collection
Looks ok, but calling a watch with Arabic numerals, center seconds, date and moonphase complication dress or dressy is quite a stretch.

Re: PREORDER: Brand Direct: Mitchell Timepieces - Air Commander Automatic Moonphase Collection
I want to like it, but it's not right for me. I don't like the moon phase window. To me, it looks like the moon is being smashed.
Re: PREORDER: Brand Direct: Mitchell Timepieces - Air Commander Automatic Moonphase Collection
Why does it look so chintzy for $725?
Re: PREORDER: Brand Direct: Mitchell Timepieces - Air Commander Automatic Moonphase Collection
Because the photos aren't professional (esp. lighting) and they didn't even wipe down the watch before they took them. It looks like a reddit for-sale post.
Also, I feel like they should have color matched the date disc since the moonphase is matched.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

The "official" pics from Mitchell Timepieces are less than ideal.
So sharing a video review from Random Rob, which I think does the watch more justice.
