Words do spread fast! This will be our first attempt to make a watch in Germany. And from the finest manufacturer of case, dial, hands and movements. This will not be your everyday Pilot for one. Limited Edition to 50 pieces. And with a vintage ETA automatic movement to add to the overall nostalgia feel of a Pilot. Regards Anders Last edited on Tue Jun 3rd, 2008 06:50 am by anders213 |

That is awesome. I have been looking for a good pilot watch. I have Anders' Divergraph Pro in blue and love it. I generally try not to have two watches from the same manufacturer, but in this instance, I am going to have to change the rules. |

Another delay once again in Germany. But good news is that it should be ready within the next 6-8 weeks. And 3T will get exclusive as always. |

Guys guys. Sorry for the late reply. Been very busy with the Pilot. I can reveal more information now that its all done and on its way from Germany. The official name is Dievas Flieger Timer. I drew inspiration of the Flieger Timer from this old Luftwaffe Borduhr of the 1960s. And we managed to get hold of some vintage 1960s ETA Automatic movements to compliment the design and idea. Of course the Flieger Timer will not have the subdial. Thats a chronograph subdial on the Luftwaffe Borduhr. The Flieger Timer will have a central second hand. The movements are all cleaned, timed and tested by our watchmaker before assembly. So reliability will not be an issue. It will be Limited Edition of 50pcs. More details coming soon guys.

That looks awesome mate!!! You were right, its a flieger i have never seen before! congrats on making a unique homage (i.e. one that has not been done before) the vintage movement is a nice touch as well. look forward to seeing the finished product  |

Is this a Junghams board/cockpit clock? also it appears to have a turning bezel. will this be incorporated to the final design? looking forward to seeing it mate! |

You are absolutely right mate, its a junghan vintage cockpit clock used onboard the ME109-262, FW190, etc. It will not look 100% like in the picture, we just design around it. Will still keep a vintage flieger look. Bezel will be retained and to top it off it will have a vintage ETA movement which is inciddently used by Junghans in many of their vintage pieces.

Excellent info mate. Interesting how they "transfer" their time around in olden times. |

I am really looking forward to this Flieger....Anders told me and I hope he doesn't mind me spilling the beans but the movement will be a vintage eta 2452 as once used by Junghans in the 60's....this is a very cool engine and only makes this watch more desirable imho...remember only 50 will be made!....TY Anders for taking Dievas to new heights and your eye for unique and creative timepieces!perfect.gif |
