UROFA-UFAG
Where it began: Glashütte, 1927
“By the late 1930s, the factory employed a thousand people.”
Ernst Kurtz founded UROFA and UFAG in Glashütte in 1927. By the late 1930s, the factory employed a thousand people. The Flieger Chronograph — Caliber UROFA 59, around 30,000 produced — became the standard-issue pilot’s chronograph for the Luftwaffe. Allied bombing and Soviet occupation ended it all in 1945.

Division
Dismantled. Dispersed. Not defeated.
Soviet occupation forces dismantled the UROFA-UFAG works in 1945. The tools, dies, and machinery were shipped east as reparations. Ernst Kurtz and many of his watchmakers scattered west, carrying decades of expertise but little else.
No production during this period.
1956–2007
Ganderkesee
Five decades of military precision
“He joined as a 19-year-old apprentice and owned the brand by 25.”
Kurtz rebuilt in Ganderkesee, a small town near Bremen. Dieter Delecate joined as a 19-year-old apprentice in 1954 and owned the brand by 25. Over five decades, Ganderkesee produced military chronographs, dive watches, pilot instruments, and dress pieces.

Ref. 780-52 through 780-73, first cataloged on tutima.de in 2005. Valjoux 7754 — the GMT variant of the 7750 — with independently adjustable 24-hour hand for a second time zone. 38.7 mm case, 15.8 mm height, offered in black and white dials. A Eurofighter Typhoon special edition (Ref. 780-59) carried the aircraft silhouette engraved on its sapphire caseback.

Fx Automatic
Ref. 630/631, introduced around 2000 in Ganderkesee as a sport-oriented alternative to the Flieger line. The FX was Tutima’s first purpose-built sport watch, designed from the ground up with a wider case and integrated bezel rather than adapting the pilot-instrument Flieger platform. ETA 2836-2 three-hand automatic with bidirectional 60-minute countdown bezel, screw-down crown, 10 bar. The FX platform spawned four variant families — Automatic, Automatic UTC, Chronograph, and Chronograph UTC — sharing a common satinized steel case architecture. Discontinued around 2014.

Ref. 632/633/634, cataloged from 2000. The FX Automatic with ETA 2893-2 for tracking a second timezone via independently adjustable 24-hour hand. Ref. 633 variants added a 24-hour bezel scale, enabling a third timezone reference — a three-timezone capability unique in the Tutima catalog at the FX price point. Multiple bezel configurations — satinized, 60-minute countdown, or 24-hour scale — were offered across at least seven reference numbers. 10 bar, screw-down crown.

Fx Chronograph
Ref. 741/788, cataloged from 2002. Valjoux 7750 chronograph in the FX sport case — Tutima’s mid-range chronograph positioned between the smaller Flieger Classic line and the military-spec NATO series. It offered the same Valjoux 7750 base as the NATO Chronograph to civilian buyers without military procurement channels. 30-minute and 12-hour counters, day/date. Ref. 741 had a bidirectional 60-minute bezel; Ref. 788 used a smooth satinized bezel for a cleaner look. Sapphire caseback, steel, 10 bar.

Fx Chronograph Utc
Ref. 740/741/788 UTC variants, cataloged from 2000. Modified Valjoux 7750 with central 24-hour readout for a second time zone, combined with full chronograph functions — the most complex dial layout in the FX family. With chronograph, second timezone, and optional third-timezone bezel, this was the most densely packed movement-and-dial configuration Tutima offered outside the military NATO line. The 24-hour bezel on Ref. 740 variants enabled reading a third timezone. 38.5 mm case at 16.4 mm height. Sapphire caseback, steel, 10 bar. Later Ref. 740-84 variants used the Valjoux 7754 with applied numerals.

Pacific Chronograph
Ref. 759, cataloged from 1999, discontinued around 2006. The only quartz-powered model in the entire Ganderkesee-era Pacific line. The ETA 251.262 Swiss quartz offered 1/10-second precision and a split-time function for lap timing — capabilities that mechanical chronographs of the era could not match at this price. Titanium case at 40.2 mm and 11 mm height, unidirectional 60-minute diver bezel, 10 bar.

Pacific Original
Ref. 670 series, cataloged on tutima.de from 1999 — Tutima’s first dedicated dive watch, marking the brand’s entry into underwater instruments after three decades focused on pilot’s chronographs. Produced in Ganderkesee as an entry-level professional diver: 40.4 mm steel case, 10.8 mm height, ETA 2836-2 automatic, unidirectional bezel with ratchet, sapphire crystal, screw-down crown, 20 bar. Available on steel bracelet (Ref. 670-01) or military leather strap (Ref. 670-03). The Pacific established the dive catalog that led to the more extreme 300-metre titanium DI 300 five years later.

Military Fliegerchronograph Tlg
Rare titanium-and-gold variant of the military chronograph. Ref. 738-02: titanium case with 18-karat gold bezel and bracelet links — one of the few gold-accented military watches produced by any manufacturer. Lemania 5100 movement, 20 bar, rated to 15,000 m altitude.

Flieger Utc
Ganderkesee-produced pilot watch with the second timezone displayed on a subdial rather than via a central 24-hour hand as in the Flieger GMT (Ref. 636). This approach kept the main dial as a clean three-hand layout with date at three o’clock. Where the GMT used the ETA 2893-2 with a central fourth hand, the UTC model used a movement module to drive a separate subdial readout. Same 36 mm case family as the Flieger Automatic and GMT.

The independently adjustable 24-hour hand tracks a second timezone without stopping the movement. Ref. 636 variants had sapphire caseback with perlage-finished movement; Ref. 639 used a solid steel caseback. 10 bar water resistance.

Flieger Chronograph F3
Ref. 758, the last Tutima model to use the Lemania 5100 — the same movement as the NATO chronograph Ref. 798. Lemania ended Cal. 5100 production in 2002; Dieter Delecate had already stockpiled movements, keeping the chronograph in continuous production unchanged since the 1980s. Auto Bild Klassik noted in 2011 that the Lemania 5100, once standard across military chronographs, survived at Tutima alone. 38.6 mm steel case, 20 bar, coin-edge bezel, central 60-minute counter with integrated military-spec pushers.

Ref. 751, launched in 2007 at the World Financial Center in Manhattan. The same Lemania 5100 as the NATO military chronograph, repurposed with a 15-minute regatta countdown divided into three color-coded segments for the yacht racing start sequence. Pure titanium case, 20 bar, integrated pushers, sapphire crystal anti-reflective on both sides. Before going on sale, the watch was tested during an Atlantic crossing; from 2005 to 2011, Tutima served as official timekeeper of the Kieler Woche regattas.

Grand Classic Black
Ref. 628-11/628-13, added to the Grand Classic line around 2012. The PVD treatment hardened the steel surface and covered case, bezel, and clasp in uniform black — only the red bezel marker and dial accents provided contrast. Same ETA 2836-2 automatic with day/date and bidirectional rotating bezel as the standard Grand Classic. Leather strap with PVD-coated clasp. 10 bar water resistance, sapphire caseback.

The PR sub-variant (Ref. 781-21) added a modified power reserve module. UTC variants (Ref. 781-04) measured 43 mm at 15.9 mm height. All shared the Grand Classic’s bidirectional rotating bezel with red marker and sapphire caseback. 10 bar.

Grand Classic
Launched in 2007 for Tutima’s 80th anniversary — eighty years after Ernst Kurtz founded UROFA in Glashütte — the Grand Classic was the last major case platform designed in Ganderkesee and the first built to house Glashütte-finished movements. Coin-edge rotating bezel with red reference marker, ETA 2836-2, day/date, sapphire caseback, 43 mm case. Production of Tutima watches began in the restored Glashütte building on March 1, 2008, and the Grand Classic bridged that transition from Lower Saxony to Saxony. The 43 mm case architecture became the template for the Grand Flieger line that followed.

Military Fliegerchronograph Tl
Ref. 750 series, cataloged from 1999. The “TL” designation stood for Titan-Lünette: a 43 mm titanium case with bidirectional ratcheted 60-minute bezel — the key distinction from the fixed-bezel T series (Ref. 760). Same Lemania 5100 movement as the Bundeswehr-issue Ref. 798, same 20 bar and 15,000 m altitude rating. The TL preceded the formal NATO designation and remained in the catalog through 2014.

Eurofighter Typhoon
Licensed by EADS (now Airbus Defence and Space) for the multinational Eurofighter Typhoon program — the only formally licensed aviation-manufacturer partnership in Tutima’s catalog, distinct from the Flieger line’s generic military references. Ref. 780-59, Valjoux 7754 with 24-hour second time zone and rotating bezel, 38.7 mm case. The sapphire caseback carries an engraved silhouette of the Typhoon fighter, identifying the aircraft program directly. The Typhoon entered service in 2003 with air forces from Germany, the UK, Italy, and Spain; alligator strap with folding clasp.

The 2007 PR RED limited edition (Ref. 780-85/86) was restricted to 250 pieces with a red dial and red bezel marker.

Flieger Chronograph F2
Ref. 780 series, produced in Ganderkesee from the late 1990s. The F2 transitioned the Flieger from the military-grade Lemania 5100 to the Valjoux 7750 automatic — taking the pilot chronograph from Bundeswehr instrument to consumer line while keeping the coin-edge bezel and screw-down crown. 38.7 mm case, 15.3 mm height, day/date, bidirectional rotating bezel. The platform spawned PR (power reserve), UTC (second time zone), and 18-karat gold variants (Ref. 754), and Eurofighter pilots later chose it as the basis for the Typhoon special edition.

Di 300
Ref. 629 series, first appearing on tutima.de in 2004. Pure titanium case, 43.8 mm diameter, 12.5 mm height, 30 bar (300 m) — Tutima’s step beyond the 200-metre Pacific into professional dive depth. ETA 2836-2, 25 jewels, screw-in titanium crown, signal orange dial available (Ref. 629-12). In the summer of 2005, after the Kieler Woche, Tutima towed a DI 300 on a line behind its racing yacht during the Nord/LB Baltic Sprint Cup — 26 days, 2,000 nautical miles (3,700 km) through Baltic salt water. The watch was still running accurately at the end. The X-35 World Championship edition (Ref. 629-16, 2007) carried a special caseback engraving. DI 300 Black (Ref. 629-51) added PVD-coated titanium for reduced underwater reflection.

Military Nato Chronograph T
Titanium variant of the NATO Chronograph, cataloged from 1999 as Ref. 760. The 43.2 mm pure titanium case reduced wrist weight by roughly 40% over the steel Ref. 798 while adding anti-magnetic shielding and 7G shock resistance. Rated to 20 bar and compression-tested to 15,000 m altitude. The Commando II (Ref. 760-42), designated “Einsatzuhr,” was the variant issued to special-forces units with titanium bracelet.

Flieger Automatic 36mm
Ref. 637/638, produced in Ganderkesee from the late 1990s. The 36.2 mm case and 10.2 mm height made this the most compact Flieger in the catalog — a three-hand ETA 2836-2 with bidirectional bezel and instrument-dial layout unchanged from the larger models. Higher-spec Ref. 637 variants had perlage decoration and Geneva stripes on the rotor, visible through the sapphire caseback. 10 bar water resistance.

Classic Flieger Chronograph
The 1985 reissue of the 1941 original, built to the same 38.7 mm case diameter and three-register layout as the UROFA Cal. 59 Flieger. The original Cal. 59 was the first German chronograph to combine both addition stopwatch timing (Additionsstoppung) and flyback function (Tempostopp) in a single watch. The 1941 case was nickel-plated brass with a screw-down caseback. Ref. 783 in steel, Ref. 753 in 18-karat gold. Founder Ernst Kurtz’s brother Walter was a test pilot — the aviation connection was personal. Die Welt profiled Tutima in 1986, one of Germany’s leading newspapers recognizing the reissue of a watch produced roughly 30,000 times before 1945.

Valeo Reserve
Ref. 644, announced 2007 as the steel counterpart to the 18-karat rose gold Valeo (Ref. 640). “Valeo” is Latin for “to have strength” — like “Tutima” itself (from “tutus,” safe), derived from Latin. The same ETA 2892-A2/Tutima module with 28 jewels, two-wheel big date, and power reserve indicator, now in a 38.5 mm polished steel case with satinized bezel. Six reference numbers across silver, blue, and anthracite dials with Louisiana alligator strap or steel bracelet. 10 bar.

The ETA 2892-A2/Tutima base carries 28 jewels (seven more than the stock movement), modified with an additional module for the two-wheel big date and power reserve indicator. 38.5 mm case, 11 mm height, solid 18-karat rose gold with satinized bezel. Silver, blue, or anthracite dials on Louisiana alligator strap with gold folding clasp.

“The day the Berlin Wall fell, Dieter Delecate drove east to bring it back.”
Dieter Delecate drove east the day the Berlin Wall fell. It took nineteen years, but he brought Tutima back. Production began March 1, 2008, in the former Bahnmeisterei on Altenberger Straße 6. The Glashütte era produced the first in-house calibers: Cal. 617 and Cal. 630.

Grand Classic Ladies
Ref. 610 series, recovered from tutima.net archives (2012). A 36.4 mm polished case at 11.7 mm height — scaled down from the 43 mm Grand Classic but retaining the same ETA 2836-2 automatic (25 jewels, day/date) rather than substituting a smaller or simpler movement. Mother-of-pearl dial, bidirectional rotating bezel with red marker. Four reference numbers across leather strap and steel bracelet, some with applied numerals. 10 bar water resistance.

Pacific Black
Ref. 677-31, added to the Pacific line around 2012. Hardened PVD-coated steel case and matching bracelet with security buckle and diver extension — the black treatment eliminated reflections that standard polished steel produces underwater. Same ETA 2836-2 automatic and unidirectional 60-minute diver bezel as the standard Pacific, same 20 bar. The PVD hardening also improved scratch resistance over the base model.

This module added three jewels over the base ETA 2892-A2 and required Tutima-specific modifications. Bidirectional rotating bezel with red marker, applied numerals, sapphire caseback. 10 bar.

Ref. 629-17. The Pacific name applied to a DI 300-class titanium case rated to 30 bar (300 m), bridging the Pacific and DI lines. Unlike the standard DI 300’s unidirectional diver bezel, the Pacific 300 used a bidirectional 360-degree compass bezel for surface navigation. ETA 2836-2 automatic, rubber strap with security buckle and diver extension. The titanium case matched the DI 300’s specifications — the bezel function was what differentiated them.

Crown, pushers, and folding clasp also in 18-karat red gold. The sapphire caseback carries the Tutima “T” and the year “1927” — a marking shared across all Grand Classic models, referencing the year Ernst Kurtz founded UROFA in Glashütte. Alligator strap.

Grand Classic
Launched in 2007 for Tutima’s 80th anniversary — eighty years after Ernst Kurtz founded UROFA in Glashütte — the Grand Classic was the last major case platform designed in Ganderkesee and the first built to house Glashütte-finished movements. Coin-edge rotating bezel with red reference marker, ETA 2836-2, day/date, sapphire caseback, 43 mm case. Production of Tutima watches began in the restored Glashütte building on March 1, 2008, and the Grand Classic bridged that transition from Lower Saxony to Saxony. The 43 mm case architecture became the template for the Grand Flieger line that followed.
