WARTIME | WW2 Military Watch - Vintage Luftwaffe Watch, Swiss-Quartz Movement with Genuine Leather Strap and 10 ATM Water Resistant. The Perfect WW2 Memorabilia. Mens Watches for Ever

I had been looking at flieger style watches for a while now but didn’t want to spend $1500+ for a Laco or Stowa etc. I took a chance with this one and had low expectations. The watch has far exceeded those expectations. The watch looks great. The leather strap is genuine leather and the face size is perfect for my wrist. It feels like a solid well built watch. I was amazed at how good the luminous paint worked when I first took it into a dark room right out of the box. Definitely worth the money if you’re looking for a ww2 era pilot watch.

I have to admit, when I see other reviewers criticize this product because of losing 3 seconds/month vs. an atomic sync'd watch (digital), I really have to wonder, what is so important about a 3 second difference per month? What do they expect from a watch that is battery powered with quartz movement? I found most of the negative details in others' reviews to be really picky for the price (low) and quality (high) of this watch. The luminous dial works like luminous dials work. Phosphorescent, and thus needs to get a quick (2 seconds) charge of light to read. The hands are visible longer than the numbers or markings, and the second hand is not luminous, but a second hand is so thin, there is hardly any room for luminous paint to be visible. I love this watch, and others negative comments seem based on unrealistic expectations, or lack of understanding. No, the watch does not have H3 (like newer compasses/watches, and more expensive watches), nor does it use uranium like the early luminous dial watches, which also means that the luminous qualities on this watch will outlast the half-life of radioactive dials. This means that after a short period, it will need another bit of light from a small torch (flashlight). New mini LED flashlights (Streamlight recommended for brand) have pocket and hat clips and comfortably fit in your pants or shirt pocket (assuming you are using a pocket protector (shirt) or pants without anything other than the clip). I find that having a small LED mini torch is handy to just keep with you all the time, to find remotes, fumble with your keys, whatever. You could also charge it with a lighter, but a torch (flashlight) is safer and doesn't ignite or force you to risk burning yourself, and also works regardless of the wind. In any case, I love this watch and wear it every day. At night, I put it in its pouch when I go to sleep to keep the dust off, and to let any moisture evaporate from the band. I am very happy with my purchase.

I bought this as a gift for my husband, who’s a history teacher, and it was an absolute hit! It looks great on him, and he was so excited that he brought it straight into his classroom. He’s been using it to show his students how military gear evolved and how each side adapted it over time. He loves having the two bands, and he keeps saying the details are “astonishingly faithful to the original.” I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

Fits perfectly on my 6.5” wrist and the band is surprisingly robust. There are two more strap slots remaining for sizing. The band is the best part about this watch. The band on the kamikaze model from this maker was substandard, as well as the crystal on that model, which I returned. I’m still on the fence about the Fleiger here, but for now I really like it. Update: I returned it.

For the price of this watch, I would expect it to keep time at a minimum. It loses about 1 to 2 minutes every hour. That's pretty bad. Other than that, the watch looks ok. Lighter than expected. Feels kinda cheap. More like a $40 watch. But even a $40 watch can keep time. There's really nothing else like it on the market, unless you want to pay $$$$$ for a real one. I don't want to bother with returning it, so I'm just going to throw it in a drawer and try to forget I bought it.

No website for this company, but... This is suppose to be made by Spain, with an automatic movement made by the Swiss. Another company, cheaper made by chi-com or sometimes claim to be a jap. Even the new Laco movement ($1,300+) is the jap movement, not Swiss or Germany. This version is quite good, the leather band is fine, night hands read okay and the looking like the vintage (beige/white) fighter pilot, is great. There is another version, made it look new with a black face. So-called crystal-mineral is really tempered glass for the lens. Very pleased.

Update: I’m giving up and returning this watch. It’s a shame because it’s exactly what I was looking for. Beyond the short band, the watch looses about 1.5 seconds a day. That may not seem like a lot, but it adds up very quickly. I am gauging it against my iPhone, so I feel very confident. Avoid! So I’ve only had this watch for a day, so I’ll update this about reliability. I set the time exactly to my iPhone and so far, it’s perfect. The watch is beautiful and exactly what I expected. Very easy to read. Here’s the issue. The band is far too short. It seems to be good quality and looks nice, so that’s a shame. I don’t have big wrists and I’m wearing it in the correct location above the bone. I can barely clasp the band in the longest hole and that hurts too much to even wear it. I’m keeping the watch. It’s very nice, but most men will need to add a new band in the cost. And certainly don’t buy it if the look of the band is part of your choice.

I'm very impressed with the quality of this watch. It's very well made and gives off that 'quality' vibe. I ended up with #008 out of 500.

Impresionante, wartime es equivalente de calidad.

It’s a nice enough watch, the description in the product describes it as accurately as one might expect. Watch bezel possesses a certain rawness to its finish which speaks to what the watch is being advertised as. Weight of the watch is is noticeable and solid. Gives off the vibe of a resilient watch. The watch strap is of good quality. It feels premium to the touch. Packaging of the watch is rather interesting and fun. The watch is neatly placed on a military style fabric bag that itself is in a flat black box. The WWII font on the box is a little over the top, but not a turn off. Not to be overly critical, but I find the second hand to just ever so slightly jittery, with a slightest of a kickback as it moves. It’s not overly noticeable but I have to wonder if it will eventually wear on the inside movement. Overall I would recommend the watch. I’m generally happy with the purchase.

El Reloj es prácticamente igual a los originales de Laco. Es muy bonito. Lo único es que a diferencia de los originales no es luminosos, solo las manecillas tienen Lumen suficiente para ser luminosos, los marcadores de horas se iluminan muy tenues. Es una lastima que siedo un Reloj idéntico a los que usaban los Navegantes de los Bombarderos Alemanes, no tengan el Lumen suficiente para que toda la carátula del Reloj sea luminoso.

Must be sponsored or s because this watch is not worth 2 dollars. Bad time keeping, bad des, bad everything. Don’t waste your money

Reloj muy bonito, cumple con mis espectativas, es muy atractivo, con algunos días de uso todo bien y con más de 2 elogios, recomendado para quien le gustan estos tipos de reloj Flieger pero sin invertir mucho dinero.
