In my opinion, it’s beautiful, old-school, and collectible. Pictures don't fully show its beauty: the construction, durable strap made of thick leather. It’s a watch worn by Luftwaffe pilots, such as in the Messerschmitt Bf 109. A silver oxide battery sets the quartz crystal vibrating, which moves the watch's mechanism. Regular oscillations make this mechanism very precise. In WWII times, it was top shelf. It’s great to have something like this nowadays. It draws interest from watch enthusiasts and others, too ;)
A meticulously crafted replica of the ME109 watch, as worn by officer ranks during World War II.
A robust steel case shields the high-quality quartz movement, while fluorescent hands are protected beneath a domed mineral glass.
A timeless, finely stitched leather strap completes the timepiece. Supplied in an elegant black presentation box. Battery included.

It didn’t impress me. I was actually upset when I saw how convex the glass is. It sticks out 0.5 cm above the case. It looks like a magnifying glass. The strap is stiff but will surely soften over time. It’s great that there’s a battery lock. Some say the clasp is strong, but it’s not. The pin is very flimsy. The watch looks remarkable on the wrist, that’s true, but glass sticking out so much from the case is a disaster. It’s an exaggeration. Way too much.

The watch looks better in person than in the picture, the dial and the metal case are intentionally aged for a better effect, the glass is convex like in old watches, plus there is a thick leather strap with a solid clasp. The fluorescent hands let you check the time at night without any problem (they fade a bit by morning, but you can still read the time). The strap is very stiff at first, but I feel it softens and 'adjusts' as you wear it. If you have skinny wrists, you may need to add a hole or two in the strap at the watchmaker’s. Overall, a very nice watch, really worth the price.

My opinion concerns the appearance and usability of this watch. Here I give it 5 stars. The craftsmanship is flawless. I won’t wear it with a suit but when paired with a quasi-military outfit, it looks stunning. After some time, I’ll try to add another opinion about its durability and any possible malfunctions.

The watch is very handy, even durable and really elegant - it fits for sports, suits, and even a mountain trip, I checked it. The dial is very legible for people with weaker eyesight. I've had it for 2 years, recently changed the battery, and the watchmaker warned me that the mechanism is not adequate for the price and it’s easy to get it wet (my example), so the price is a bit too high, that's why it's a 4.1 rating. Regards :)

Beautiful, I had to buy it - gorgeous design, tough appearance, very thick leather strap.

A very simple watch, ideal for the forest. It's a pity it doesn't have sapphire.

The watch looks better than in the picture. It makes an impression among others. Everyone asks where I got it and says it’s great, so classic. The watch suits everything. Sportswear, regular everyday clothes, and elegant outfits.

I highly recommend it, a reliable watch.
