Aero-TV: Abingdon Watches -- An E6B Watch For The Woman Pilot

Why Should Guys Have A Monopoly On Cool Pilot Watches?

It used to be that you could tell that a guy was a pilot by the timepiece he wore... It was a pretty much male affectation and one that more than a few of us have taken on for our own. The big iconic pilot watch is as much a part of the aviation aura as the scarf and goggles. BUT... for the female aviators among us, the ability to join in this frenzy of aviation-oriented timepiece ownership was often just out of reach since many of the watches made for flyers were simply too large for a number of aviatrix' wrists. It was simply NOT fair...

That is, until pilot Chelsea 'Juice' Welch decided that the time had come for her to strike a blow for aero-chronological equality and design a series of timepieces for the aviatrix looking to make a stylish, as well as timely, statement. Chelsea started Abingdon watches and has set THE standard for aviation watches for women... a small but devoted market that seems more than smitten with what she's developed (if the continual crowd at her booth at the 2010 Women In Aviation convention is any indication).

'Juice' tells ANN that 'Abingdon Watches began during a roundtable dinner conversation between a mix of energetic women pilots and airplane mechanics.' Her colleagues 'repeatedly expressed their desires for a fully functional aviator’s watch that is fashionable, versatile and, most importantly, made for women.'

Priced between $250 and $400, Abingdon offers two models of watch, the 'Amelia' and 'Jackie', each of which feature a flight computer, Zulu/GMT time conversion, luminous hands, and anti glare surfaces. Come join Aero-TV as we spend a little 'time' with Chelsea and Abingdon watches.
