Excellent low-light visibility: The dial numerals, markings, and hands use Super-LumiNova C3 for clear nighttime reading.
Traditional pilot strap: The brown calf leather strap features rivet detailing that complements the functional character of the original observation-watch design.
At 42 mm in diameter, 11.75 mm high, and 50 mm from lug to lug, the Augsburg 42 has the strong visual presence expected from a pilot watch. The brown calf leather strap fits wrist circumferences of approximately 16 to 21 cm.
