Great looking watch

Looks better in person, the solar eliminates battery swaps....so far so good

Got the timing right

Everything about it is tickety-boo! Thinish strap my only hiccup.

Fantastic Daily Driver

Been wearing the pilot A-13 Solar daily for a few weeks now and I'm definitely a big fan. The NATO style straps are super easy to interchange and clean. The watch face is very simple and easy to read. The lume is great and the watch overall is just straight up bullet proof. I would absolutely buy another one!

THE A-13: A SOLAR-POWERED PILOT WATCH

Heritage-Inspired. Rugged. Adventure-Ready.

BUY THE A-13

“We know how hard it is to find a watch with the right look, a solid build, and a fair price. That is why we started Redwood.”

The Redwood Brothers

"It's hard to imagine that there are many better options out there today"

"That’s a whole lot of character for the money"

"Inspired by one of the most influential early military dive watches ever made"

"Feels more like an ode to past generations than a revamped iteration of the classic design"

THE MOST ICONIC AIRCRAFT INSTRUMENT DESIGN OF THE 20th CENTURY

In 1964, the Department of Defense published MIL-C-6499, a new military specification for a mechanical aircraft clock. In addition to a high-contrast dial with large numerals and hands, it also required a stepped dial with a raised outer track to improve legibility.

Our inspiration for the Redwood Pilot A-13 watch would go on to become one of the most iconic aircraft instrument designs of the 20th century. Interpreted as a wristwatch with rugged specifications, it is ready for anything you throw at it. A very capable tool watch in its own right, the A-13 is a piece of aviation history on your wrist.

SOLAR-POWERED MOVEMENT

With its solar-powered movement, the Pilot A-13 watch offers a superior level of independence that will last you through any adventure. It can be charged on the go, anywhere there is light.

The A-13 is equipped with a miniature solar panel behind the translucent dial. A few hours under full sun provides up to 12 months of power.

LEGIBILITY FIRST

As is to be expected for aircraft instruments, one of the most important aspects of the A-13 spec was legibility of the dial and hands. The Redwood Pilot A-13's high-contrast dial features large numerals for quick and clear reading with minute markers on the raised outer scale to reduce parallax error. The sword-shaped hour and minute hands are true to the original and the second hand with a luminous tip helps confirm correct movement operation with just a quick glance.

NIGHT-VISION LUMINESCENCE

Some versions of the A-13 clocks used radioactive tritium to provide illumination, causing safety issue. Redwood uses non-radioactive Super-LumiNova pigments, a major improvement over period tech. The pigment appears white in daytime conditions and produces a strong greenish glow in low light after exposure to light or UV. All three hands and 12 hour markers are coated for clear nighttime operation.

"BUILT TOUGH"

BULLETPROOF CASE

The case embodies the essence of form following function, featuring a rugged, all-stainless construction with a brushed finish. The most noticeable difference with the DOD’s A-13 spec is size: Whereas original A-13’s were a massive 60mm wide to be suitable for use as aircraft clocks, the Redwood is a reasonable 40mm, making it perfect for a wristwatch. The brushed finish reduces unwanted glare and the massive lugs are insurance against failure. They are drilled for convenient spring bar removal. The Redwood A-13 watch is also equipped with an oversized screw-down crown for easier operation.

STORM-READY

A critical requirement for A-13 clocks was a waterproof and dustproof case to protect the movement from the harsh cockpit environment. The Redwood Pilot A-13 watch stays true to the spirit of the 60s piece and uses modern technology for a reliable 100m/330ft of water resistance. To achieve this rating, both the crown and caseback are screwed-down and equipped with high quality polymer seals.

UNSCRATCHABLE GLASS

The Pilot A-13 is equipped with a flat sapphire crystal. Being one of the hardest materials - rated at 9 on the Mohs hardness scale (diamonds rate at 10) - it is very scratch resistant. Its flat shape further reduces the risk of scratching it. It is mounted with special seals to ensure water tightness. Its 1.5mm thickness is designed to withstand the strong hydrostatic pressure experienced underwater.

MILITARY HERITAGE

M56 TYPE CANVAS POUCH

Each Redwood Pilot A-13 watch is shipped in a heritage-inspired watch pouch. Borrowing design elements from the M56 Compass bag, the sturdy watch pouch is made of a thick grey cotton canvas. It features a slot for the watch and a narrower slot for tools or additional straps. It provides a secure, safe and compact way to store and carry the A-13.

GOVERNMENT-CONTRACT CASEBACK

The screw-down caseback of the Redwood Pilot A-13 might appear cryptic for the uninitiated with several lines of coded text engraved into the solid stainless steel piece. In a tip of the hat to government-contract timepieces, the caseback features important information about the watch including model number, type of movement, water resistance rating, date of manufacture as well as manufacturer contact information.

What our customers think

"I actually loved my first watch so much I got a second and they both are amazing! The glow works wonders and the water resistance helps with all my wet PNW adventures. I'll probably be getting another."

Sean B.

"Build quality is excellent, and has accompanied me on hikes, hunting trips, and mountain biking, all while being fashionable at the same time!"

Neil K.

"This watch has withstood a good sixth months of fieldwork with constantly being hit by tree branches and shrubs and hasn't been scratched by any of it. Can't complain about anything with this watch. "

George H.

"It's a great watch. Simple, stylish, highly legible, quality construction. It's my number one go-to watch. "

David M.

“Hey team!

Just wanted to send a word of compliment. I’m a big watch guy [...] But let me say, Redwood has blown them all out of the water. I need watches that are more than just accessories, but functional tools. I’m a firefighter/paramedic in a high call volume city in the US. My wife bought me a Redwood Tactical Frogman for Christmas. It came in the mail and I am blown away. This is by far my new favorite watch. It is insanely lightweight, crazy well built and the Lume in as good ifnot better than my luminox. Thanks for making such a high quality time piece, and please don’t stop changing the watch game”

Jay H.

“Dear Redwoods,

I received my watch today. About a week early! So far my experience with your company has been a delight from a quick answer on chat, to fast shipping and a watch that arrived set to the correct time.

Oh, yeah, and I love the watch - it is everything I hoped it would be! Keep up the good work. You definitely performed on your three promises! Sincerely”

Gary S.

“I’ve been a field-watch person [...] for many years. Not a big collector, not a watch scholar, just an appreciator and one who wears his field watch day and night. I stumbled on your website a few weeks ago, and I have to say that your Field v2 has quite stolen my heart. There are other field watches out there with the uncrowded Explorer-type dial, but I find there is something too mechanical and human-centered about them [...] for me the Redwood Field evokes taking low-key hike through the woods, or quietly putting one’s garden to bed on a late-fall afternoon—or any way of being at home in a world one recognizes as larger than oneself. I cannot think of a way to improve the overall look of the watch.”

Homer W.
