·So I sat my sons, ages 11 and 13, down today. I showed them the Seamaster and the Swatch, and said someday, each of you will get one of these watches. Now, who wants to go shovel that snow?
Very exciting territory.
Mixed emotions about its origins, but it's one h... of a watch.
1942 Stowa WW2 navigators watch. 55mm diameter😵💫. Radium enough to go.
Should land in a couple of weeks.
Cheers!
Edit: Funfact...
Die STOWA Fliegeruhr mit dem Baumuster B Zifferblatt gehört zu den seltensten großen, historischen Fliegeruhren, die jemals gebaut wurden (ca. 1940 / 55 mm Durchmesser).
Es sollen wohl nur 42 Stück gebaut worden sein.
Found this UG with 215-27 microtor movement at a decent price. The case has some pristine facets on the lugs too 🥰
Buncha enablers around here! 🤦
Seriously though, this thing is awesome. Even though it's a diver, it sits low on the wrist like a Speedmaster, and it strikes me as the modern straight-lug Speedmaster / Autavia that Omega and TAG should be making!
