Faithful reproduction of one of the watches that changed the world during the Second World War. The watch Wartime Luftwaffe ,replica of the prestigious watch Flieger BeaumusterB, was used by the elite pilots of the Luftwafe - air force of the Third Reich during the Second World War- while trying to conquer Europe. The replica obtained is a limited series of only 500 units manufactured. With genuine leather belts, the aged finish and the metallic rivets, are an adaptation of the long leather straps that the original model had, necessary to hold them over the sleeve of the jacket or gloves. The high quality zinc alloy case has been produced in a size 12 mm smaller than the original, to make the watch more usable today. The steel back plate is engraved with the production and navigation codes of the original watch, where the letters "Fl." indicated the flight number of the pilots. The movement is mechanical and hand-wound, in the style of the time. The details, such as the central seconds and the design tones, maintain the essence of the original model, making this watch an unequalled collector's item.Not only museums store collector's jewels, now you can also wear them on your wrist. With these watches look at the time will be much more than that!

Disappointed !
I ordered this watch on 15th December. It arrived very promptly and it looked great . It was well packaged and had a look of good quality.Unfortunately on 11th January the winding mechanism broke ! Instead of the usual clicking sensation as the winding knob was turned it just spun around without priming the internal spring, meaning that when it stopped it was impossible to wind up again , and was therefore useless. After paying just over £119.00 with p&p I was obviously gutted for it to brake 26 days later !!With hindsight I think I should have been a bit more sceptical of a wind up watch, after all how many times can a mechanism that needs winding ( just before 36 hours expire to prevent the watch stopping ) be hand turned before metal fatigue occurs or springs under tension wear out ? However I think most people would expect a few years trouble free use, certainly not under a month.I have returned it to Amazon and am awaiting a full refund. It's such a shame because I really liked the look and style of the watch, but ultimately no matter how good it looks on your wrist if it's not reliable and the hands don't move, then it's a much use as mud flaps on a tortoise !Such a shame because I genuinely liked it and had high hopes , but in future I'll go back to more reliable battery power and consign wind up movement's to history.
