Aeschbach 1944 Swiss Edition – A Legacy Reborn
A timepiece nearly 80 years in the making, the Aeschbach 1944 Swiss Edition is the watch that history intended - but never realized until now. Originally designed for the German RLM, this stunning timepiece seamlessly blends wartime heritage with modern Swiss precision, bringing a lost chapter of horology to life.
With its timeless vintage aesthetic and cutting-edge craftsmanship, the Aeschbach 1944 is powered by Aeschbach's own automatic movement, delivering an impressive 42-hour power reserve and a true mechanical connection to timekeeping’s golden era.
Authentic Design, Modern Reliability
The Aeschbach 1944 Swiss Edition shares the aesthetics of a WWII watch, but it relies on modern-day movement technology. For this special edition, we have chosen the best-in-class Sellita SW216 movement, known for its unparalleled accuracy and robustness, as well as its old-world charm.
✔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 crystal made of anti-reflective sapphire glass, improving on the materials used in aviation watches of the era. ✔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.
Each Aeschbach 1944 Swiss Edition is in-house calibrated prior to delivery, securing exceptional precision straight out of the box.
