Description
Undoubtedly one of our most popular pieces at Epic Militaria, these Ailager Luftwaffe Pilots service watches are based on the originals made by companies such as Hanhart and Glashütte for German pilots in the Second World War, dating all the way back to 1939.
On the outside of the face, the watch benefits from the non-slip bezel, which gives you count-down and count-up options with its single striking red dash. On the face main time is kept by the central minute and hour hands in a classic Mercedes style for maximum illumination, complemented by 24-hour time kept on the right sub-dial. This is where Ailager has stepped away from the originals, making the decision to embrace modern movements and replacing the original 30-hour dial with 24 hours, a more functional choice for daily wear. Chronographer functions are controlled by the pushers, the top for stop/go and the lower for resetting the stopwatch, returning the central second hand and left minute sub-dial. A brown 'crazy horse' finish genuine leather strap with cream thread stitching and a sturdy brushed steel buckle gives a snug and adjustable fit.
Inside the polished nickel-plated steel case you will find a sleek black face with illuminating hands and numerals. When fully charged by exposure to bright light the luminous elements will glow for a short period. The length of time will depend on several factors including the amount of ambient light available and can vary from 3 to 15 minutes without being recharged by re-exposure. With originals costing up to £10k, these lovely watches are a far more accessible way to get that little bit of history on your wrist. The Luftwaffe Pilot Service Watch arrives in its own beautiful display box, with the name inscribed on top and a tidy deep blue finish.
