In the 1930s, Junghans was manufacturing control panel instruments for aeroplanes and airships, ultimately devising a legendary pilot chronograph for the German Armed Forces in the 1950s. The fascination with aviation is clearly evident in the Pilot: distinctive luminescent numerals and hands on the dial ensure optimum readability. The ergonomically designed bezel provides exceptional grip as well as a unique appearance.
