Authentic Design - Modern Reliability

The 36.5mm wide watchcase is crafted from 316L surgical stainless steel with a polished finish, staying true to the refined proportions of the 1940s. As a nod to the original WWII models, the 1944 features a domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal, mirroring the look used in aviation watches of the era, but with far superior technology. The high-contrast dial ensures sublime legibility, enhanced by the generous use of Super-LumiNova on hands and markers.

Built for both history and adventure, the solid screw-in crown allows easy adjustment of time while maintaining the case’s 100m water resistance, ensuring durability without compromising authenticity.
