You may not be steering a 747 through the friendly skies, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the fringe benefits of a pilot with this stunning Steinhart timepiece. Based on the design of the famed Observer watches which were indispensable to German Air Force pilots in World War II, the Nav.B-Uhr 44 Handaufzug Bronze is an entirely more elegant interpretation of the wartime fixtures.
The watch’s case is composed of a skillfully brushed bronze, which will develop a unique patina over time. A metallic gray dial incorporates sunburst brushing underneath brushed gold-colored hands. The intricate ETA 6497 Soigne, with no less than nine Geneva stripes and blued screws is on display via the back exhibition case.
The Nav.B-Uhr 44 Handaufzug Bronze may feature the contemporary technology and materials, while dial and hands composition have been treated with luminescent paint underneath a protective domed, double-AR-coated sapphire crystal, referencing a vintage style uncommon on the market today.
Steinhart’s Nav.B-Uhr 44 Handaufzug Bronze is surely a must own timepiece for any pilot watch enthusiast, certainly for one with all of the gear and none of the pressure.
