German Luftwaffe Aviator Watch - Black
Brand-new commercial outdoor and tactical gear, direct from trusted manufacturers.
KEY FEATURES
This is an accurate reproduction of the WW2 German Luftwaffe Aviator Beobachtungsuhr watch.
Luftwaffe Navigation Heritage
First issued in 1940 under specification Fl. 23883, the B-Uhr served as a primary navigation tool for German bomber crews. Navigators paired these high-precision timepieces with octants to calculate flight coordinates over long distances. Because of their tactical importance, original pieces were issued before missions and returned immediately upon landing.
Baumuster B Dial Layout
This watch features the historical Baumuster B dial, introduced in 1941 to prioritise minute tracking over standard hours. The outer track displays 5 to 55 minutes alongside clear seconds markers, while an inner ring marks the 1 to 12 hours. Luminous paint on the hands, hour dots, and outer indexes ensures fast reading in low cockpit light.
Field Specs and Modern Build
Scaled to a wearable 42mm matte alloy case, this model replaces fragile mechanical movements with a reliable battery-powered quartz movement. The oversized 7mm textured onion crown replicates the original grip designed for thick flight gloves. A heavy-duty black leather strap with dual rivets provides a secure, period-correct fit for field use.
Add this German Luftwaffe observer watch to your reenactment kit or military timepiece collection.
