Grand Flieger Classic
Riffled bezel and bold numerals from the 1941 Fliegerchronograph. Tutima's closest link to the original.
In 1941, the Luftwaffe approved a dial layout for its chronograph wristwatch — the Tutima Fliegerchronograph. Large Arabic numerals. Railroad minute track. Two registers at 9 and 3. Eighty years later, the Grand Flieger Classic uses the same layout. The proportions are faithful. The numerals are the same style. What changed is the movement inside — modern Tutima calibers — and the fact that the pilot wearing it probably chose to, rather than being issued it. The closest visual link to the watch that started the company.
The dial layout was approved by the Luftwaffe in 1941. These proportions haven't changed.
Heritage
1941 Fliegerchronograph
The 1941 Fliegerchronograph defined the pilot's watch: fluted bezel for grip with gloves, cathedral hands for instant legibility, a clean dial architecture built for the cockpit. The Grand Flieger Classic carries this exact design language into the present — the same proportions, the same purpose, eighty years later.
