The evidence does not support that position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-cici-select-uid=\"c69315c3-a963-4368-a8b1-825d0bfeac11\"\u003eSome of the most technically and historically significant pilot watches ever produced were square or tonneau-cased. The Falcon does not apologise for its geometry. It owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-cici-select-uid=\"c69315c3-a963-4368-a8b1-825d0bfeac11\"\u003eThe Square Case Advantage: What Round Cannot Do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-cici-select-uid=\"c69315c3-a963-4368-a8b1-825d0bfeac11\"\u003eA square case fits differently on the wrist. It reads differently at a distance. It occupies visual space in a way that round cases, however well-executed, cannot replicate. For buyers who want a watch that makes a statement without relying on brand recognition or complication-stacking, the Falcon's 316L stainless steel square case with PVD coating delivers a cockpit-inspired aesthetic that is genuinely rare at this price point. 'Square pilot watch' is a search category with almost no serious competition under $500. The Falcon exists precisely in that gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-cici-select-uid=\"c69315c3-a963-4368-a8b1-825d0bfeac11\"\u003eSkeleton or Chronograph: Two Configurations, Same Mission\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-cici-select-uid=\"c69315c3-a963-4368-a8b1-825d0bfeac11\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.infantrywatchco.com\/products\/aviateur-the-falcon-skeleton-square-watch\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"AVIATEUR - The Falcon - Skeleton Square Watch\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Falcon Skeleton\u003c\/a\u003e uses the Miyota 8N24 automatic movement with an open-worked dial - movement visible, mechanical, self-winding.

The Falcon's PVD-coated stainless steel addresses this directly. PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating is a hardening process that bonds a micro-thin layer of titanium nitride or similar compound to the case surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-cici-select-uid=\"c69315c3-a963-4368-a8b1-825d0bfeac11\"\u003eThe result: significantly improved resistance to surface wear at corners, edges, and high-contact points.
