Ratio Skysurfer Pilot Full Luminous Dial Leather Automatic RTS307 200M Mens Watch
Ratio Skysurfer has been ranked among the best men's watches by Wrist Enthusiast.
This is one of the most alluring styles that have been ever introduced in watches! The full lume dial is definitely more attractive to look at, providing a bright background in dark against the silhouettes of the hands. The stark contrast translates to a better visibility and acts as an immediate, temporary source of light for anything that you might want to see closely or read in the dark.

IN THE PRESS
Speciality
Ratio Skysurfer: 3D for the 3 hands
Each of the hour and minute hands of the Ratio Skysurfer watches comprises two parts. These are the base part and the top part placed one atop the other. The 3D visual effect comes from this design maneuver; its prominence is further enhanced by the application of the high-quality luminous paint from Japan! The thin, cylindrical seconds-hand has the Ratio logo attached to its end. This logo, apart from counter-balancing the seconds-hand, enhances the overall visual appeal of the watch face.
Speciality
Bright even in twilight: Lume Quality in Ratio Skysurfer watches
We have chosen a non-radioactive, nontoxic photo-luminescent paint from Japan for Ratio Skysurfer watches. When charged under bright sunlight continuously for 8 hours, it will give you an afterglow that will last through the night without the glow fading too much.
Both the Type A and Type B Ratio Skysurfer watches have the lume material applied in two formats upon the same brass base, which is the dial. Either the lume is applied to their indices and markers and the hour and minute hands or it's just the reverse - lume on the entire dial except on the hands, the indices and the markers i.e. where it previously had been.
Regardless of the layout, both offer excellent visual clarity in dark and dusk. Your choice will depend upon how much you want to stay visible at those times.
Where technology MEETS craftsmanship
Ratio Skysurfer: Merging Strengths
Italians are excellent designers capable of creating very intricate designs within small spaces. They are arguably the best in this aspect all over the world. That's why Ratio opted for designers from the land of Da Vinci and Michelangelo.

SPECIALITY
FIND COMFORT IN DEPTH: RATIO SKYSURFER'S WATER RESISTANCE READIES IT FOR SUDDEN, DEEP DIPS
The 200m water resistance of the Skysurfer watches is double that of most other pilot watches. 30m to 50m or sometimes, even 100 meters is common, but you must stay prepared for the worst when out on an adventure. Ratio Skysurfer watches are one of the very few pilot watches that have 200m water resistance and doesn’t cost big bucks.
From the skies to the seas, get a Skysurfer to turn your every adventure into some serious fun and frolic!

SURGICAL-GRADE STAINLESS STEEL BODY: RESISTS CORROSION FROM CHLORINE, SALTS AND SALTWATER, ACIDS AND ALKALINE AGENTS.
Italians are excellent designers capable of creating very intricate designs within small spaces. They are arguably the best in this aspect all over the world. That's why Ratio opted for designers from the land of Da Vinci and Michelangelo. The designs for both Type A and Type B Skysurfer watches are, therefore, specifically thought out without deviating from the classic Flieger style. The end result is a watch that you can wear not just for sporting events and activities but also for your workplace and fun evenings.Skysurfer watches - irrespective of Type A or Type B, get the 24-Jewels Seiko NH38A movement.
Just when you think it is dark, it smiles brightly at you!
The Skysurfer dials use three different lume layouts including a fully lumed dial in both Type A and Type B designs, the terms loosely translating to a simple, traditional clock layout and a more technical layout respectively. The dial designs are clever twists upon the Beobachtungsuhren (navigators’ watch) issued to the Luftwaffe during WWII, the entire colouring, luming and indexing done through silk-screen printing technique upon a brass base.
Brass takes colours better than any other metal and therefore, is least likely to fade over time and the silkscreen method helps us to keep the costs down without compromising on precision finishing. It also helps to us to keep up with the demands, for it is also the fastest way to apply the fine Japan lume in the most perfect way, resulting in smooth, even applications of the paint/coating materials. The slight double-domed sapphire crystal makes the dials appear bigger and the lume brighter, facilitating higher visibility whether its light, dark or twilight.
Skysurfer watches are powered by the 24-Jewels Seiko NH38A movement. The beat rate for this mechanical, automatic movement is 21,600bph (3Hz). It can run for 40+ hours on a fully wound mainspring. The seconds-hacking feature allows for accurate time-setting. Factory regulation sets it at +20 seconds but it can be further regulated to stay within +10 seconds or less. But this will break the factory seal.
Customer Reviews
I was particularly interested in the completely luminous dial. It works perfectly. What bothers me as a buyer in Germany is the taxcustoms fees that you have to pay. But the seller handles it very well.
For me, this is a very nice watch that is worth its pricefits well into my collection. My conclusion is: Very well craftedwearable watch in terms of sizeweight.
Absolutely delighted with this purchase. Beautifully clear dial and accurate to within a couple of seconds a day. Obviously made with a lot of care. After many years of having watches with steel bracelets, I fitted one to this and find it more comfortable than the decent quality leather strap supplied. The band width is 19mm, not 22mm as stated in the list of specs. Delivery to the UK from Singapore was by DHL and was very quick and efficient.
This is my first mechanical/automatic wrist watch. Very impressed considering the price. I got the white face with full lume. The specs on dimensions are off a bit. My watch is 11.5mm thick and lug to lug is 46mm with the strap width at 19mm. The strap is nice but quite stiff and will require breaking in. The watch to the left in the picture is the Militado D12 which I also really like.
The specs say accuracy up to +20 seconds but mine tested at +2 seconds using an app for my tablet. The app can be downloaded from Google Play Store
