STEINHART Nav. B-Uhr 47mm
♫ Being boiled ♫
...
This extremely masculine looking "Flieger" watch made by STEINHART was designed using historical models based on the design of the so-called observer watches, which were part of the equipment of every air force navigation officer in the 1940's. This beaut sure is the odds-on favourite of my collection. The beautifully made satin-finished stainless steel case with the prominent 10 mm crown makes every watch collector’s heart beat faster. The curved anti-reflecting sapphire crystal and the richly ornated Swiss Unitas manual wind-up movement gives this Pilot watch it's unique appearance. A "must have" for every collector of Pilot watches!!
The strap is made out of a vintage Swiss Army ammunition pouch from the 1940's and is hold by a legendary PRE-V buckle as used on Panerai watches.
Watch, strap and buckle are a perfect symbiosis of Swiss and German craftmanship.
Shots appropriately taken on my vintage leather bomber jacket. My wife asked me if I'm going crazy, when she saw me going out at the balcony with all that paraphernalia... well, at the balcony the light is much better than inside... :D
