Flieger GMT Automatic Watch - [Limited 50 Watches]
Please make sure to READ THE NOTE at the end of this description.
This hemi-circular design was inspired by WWII era Flieger watches, particularly made by Elgin. I wanted to modernize the concept of a flieger watch of that time but still pay homage to certain design elements and the feelings it evoked. The word Flieger is german and translates to "Flier" which in this day and age is more compatible with people flying all over the world and changing GMT zones. This was the basis for my decision to create an Automatic GMT Flieger. The dial is plated with a thick layer of 18K gold, it has also been protected by a UV-resistant nano coating that would ensure that it remains pristine for decades to come. The dial has a 6 O'clock date window with a lumed date-disc. I chose this feature to mainly reference the 6 O'clock position for easy reading of time using the hour and minute hands. Part of the dial design is an embossed and textured image of the front view of a British WWII Spitfire fighter plane, above the "Flieger" script. This will be a limited run of 50 watches.
