Azimuth Jagdbomber
|
|
This is the long awaited and much anticipated Jagdbomber from Azimuth. Like the Bombardier, the Jagdbomber is designed as a homage to the durable and highly legible pilot's watches from the World War II. The watch is large and substantial, just as the originals were. In fact some of the originals were so large they could not be worn on the wrist, they were like small clocks that pilots strapped to their legs so the could tell the time by looking into their laps. It has an oversized onion crown, oversized dial with bold, highly legible luminous numerals, and riveted calf strap. The design is a slight variation to the original pilot watches and from this era. This is because a Unitas 6497 movement has been used and a feature of that is a subsidiary seconds dial, which is placed at the 9 position. The dial is mat black with lumionova luminosity. Unlike the original pilot watches the Jagdbomber has the makers name, Azimuth and model on the dial. The originals, made by a range of companies, from IWC, Lange & Sohne, Wempe, and Laco did not have any dial logo or other symbol to give away the makers. It is 3 ATM water resistant and the case is finely crafted and beautifully finished. The movement is the sturdy hand wound Unitas 6479 which is decorated with diamond etched plates, blued screws and Geneva stripes. Has a glass display back to reveal the movement. It is limited to 100 pieces. The case is 47mm, and constructed from high grade 316 L stainless steel, it is brushed finish giving an attractive matte appearance. Has a sapphire crystal and is 3 ATM water resistant Historical timepiece, fit for any military watch collection. Dimensions are as follows. Width is 47 mm excluding the crown, 53 mm including the crown, lug to lug is 52 mm and thickness is 12 mm. Ref. AZB 03. Price is £825 or US $1,450 |
