This Tutima Pilot chronograph in Titanium is one of the watches that are used by the present day German and Nato military forces. It was adopted by the armed forces for issue to pilots, officers and special forces. The reasons were not only for the reliability, durability and robustness, but also the unique design of the control buttons for the chronograph functions. Instead of the usual protruding buttons, they used large spaced push buttons integrated into the case. This feature facilitated operation, particularly when wearing gloves, as well as reducing protruding parts that could interfere or cause injury to the wearer. The buttons however did not affect the 10 ATM water resistance of the watch. It uses the tried and tested Lemania 5100 automatic movement. The 5100 has passed countless endurance tests with flying colours. Its robustness, reliability and precision under even the toughest of conditions is partly due to the refinement and evolution of it as well as the number of moving parts being kept to a bare minimum without impairing the functions. The watch is designed as an instrument and provides instant legibility as it has a sharply contrasting dial. The sixty minute elapsed timer is one of the large centre hands, with the red t-bar tip, which provides very good legibility for elapsed timing without having to look in the smaller sub dials. Has a 24 hour indicator at the 12 position, twelve hour elapsed timer at the 6 position, and sixty second elapsed timer is the large red sweep centre second hand. The subsidiary seconds is at the 9 position and day and date at the 3 position. The crystal is sapphire with anti reflective coating.  It has a recessed screw down crown and is water resistant to 20 bar (approximately 200 metres).  The internal bezel has 12 hour markings for additional elapsed time functionality. Has fliplock safety buckle on the clasp and flight suit extension. Comes with warranty card black leatherette box and outer box and papers. Outstanding and very impressive and imposing looking wristwatch. Tutima reference is 760-02.  Width is 43 mm excluding crown, 45 mm including crown, Lug to lug is 50 mm, Thickness is 15 mm Ref: TUT 01.  Price is £1,985

Outstanding and much under rated Tutima Einsatzuhr  mission timer for task forces automatic  chronograph.  For the watch enthusiast, they will recognise that the Tutima shares very similar design concepts with the discontinued Sinn EZM1.  This is designed as a practical and functional watch to be worn by special task force military personnel, as their mission timer.  Absolutely all of the un necessary functions have been stripped out of the watch to provide a watch with the time and a twelve hour chronograph.  The one hour elapsed timer is the red arrow tipped hand and the centrals weeping red hand as the sixty second elapsed timer.  The sub dial at the 6 position is the twelve hour elapsed timer.  Like the military chronograph, the Mission Timer also has a unique design of the control buttons for the chronograph functions. Instead of the usual protruding buttons, they used large spaced push buttons integrated into the case. This feature facilitated operation, particularly when wearing gloves, as well as reducing protruding parts that could interfere or cause injury to the wearer.

Outstanding retro looking wristwatch version of the above 1941 pilot chronograph.  Whilst this watch was not made in 1941, it intends to mimic the style of the early aviators watches and does so with some style and success.  It is an authentic looking pilot watch and the little brother to the chronograph.  This aviation classic in its simplest form: a self winding movement with clear luminous dial and conspicuous luminous hands.  Altogether is a simple and attractive watch, which is to the point and purposeful looking.  The movement is a Swiss made 25 jewel ETA 2824-2.  It runs at 28,800 bph and a 40 hour power reserve.  The movement is pearlised and the bridges are decorated with Geneva stripes.  It is a brushed stainless steel case, and dual O-ring gaskets on crown.  Over sized winding crown – for ease of use with thick flying gloves as used in 1941. Long and slender lugs.  Attractive brushed stainless steel, screw on glass display back showing off the movement and convex scratch resistant sapphire crystal.  It has a date at the three position. Fluted non ratchet rotating bezel with red painted positional marker, true to the form of the 1941 original.  It has a screw down crown assisting it to a water resistance of 10 bar which is approximately 100 metres. High quality thick black leather strap.  In leatherette zippered box with outer box, instructions, hang tag, warranty card with 2 year warranty.  The Tutima reference 637-01.  Width is 37 mm excluding crown and 40 mm including crown, lug to lug is 46 mm and thickness is 13.5 mm.  Ref. TUT 07.  Price is £495
