Classic German Flieger Watch
The Augsburg 39 MB carries forward the historic design language of the original German pilot watches. Large Arabic numerals, high-contrast markings, and luminous hands ensure immediate legibility - a defining characteristic of traditional flieger instruments.
With its balanced 39 mm case and matte stainless steel finish, the Augsburg offers the clarity and function of an aviation tool watch in a size well suited for daily wear. The steel bracelet gives this classic pilot design a slightly more modern and versatile presence on the wrist.
On the Wrist
At 39 mm, the Augsburg sits comfortably on a wide range of wrists and feels balanced between vintage-inspired tool-watch character and modern everyday practicality. The bracelet adds durability and a more substantial feel, while the clean flieger dial keeps the overall look purposeful and easy to read at a glance.
