In the film, pilots and fighters play an important role, and there are two such scenes in the film. Tom Hardy plays a pilot of the Royal Air Force. With the help of his watch teammates, he predicts the fuel quantity when the fuel gauge in the cockpit is damaged, and completes the task brilliantly. The watch in his hand is an Omega CK2 129 watch.
Omega CK2 129 Watch
Now many people know that the RAF pilots in Dunkirk are wearing Omega CK2 129 watches, and which brand is the British pilot's watch. So I won't say much here. Today we will look at the list of pilots of Germany, the enemy of Britain during World War II. Most people will think that Switzerland is the best watchmaker in the world, but due to Germany's defeat in World War II, some excellent brands that used to be the top level in the world are easily overlooked.
They just ignored the technological achievements of other countries in the most brilliant stage of mechanical watch design and manufacture, especially the development of excellent German watches at that time. During this period, German pilots' watches were collectively called B-UHR, which was the abbreviation of German Beobachtungs-Uhren, the meaning of navigation reconnaissance watch, and also referred to instrument clock and navigation clock.
According to the basic standard of B-Uhr worn by pilots, Longines Lindbergh series flying watches and Omega flying watches were first eliminated in the test of the German Naval Observatory in Hamburg. The watches they provide are complex in style, difficult to identify and have too many parts. From 1933 to 1936, Langer, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin all provided relatively qualified samples for military inspection.
1, unified 55mm large diameter, no specified thickness, large diameter pocket watch movement with Breguet hairspring device, 18000 pendulum frequency, gold-plated bottom plate, splint, and most of them have beautiful gooseneck fine adjustment. The original structure of the movement is changed from three-pin tugboat structure to three-pin, and it has the functions of stopping seconds and pressing the bottom cover.
At 2.9 o'clock, the case is engraved with FL23883, the front of the bottom cover is engraved with an independent number, and the back is engraved with brand signature, number and movement number. FL is the abbreviation of flight number Fliegnummer, 23 refers to the navigation and reconnaissance device, and 883 represents that the watch has passed the most rigorous test, reaching the standard above the Observatory's watch, and even reaching the level of the ocean astronomical clock. At that time, the plane had no air conditioning, and the watch needed to be adjusted to MINUS 20 degrees Celsius to still work normally.
Garmin series pilot watches provide many aviation functions that other watches can't provide (although you don't usually use them very much)
Universal pilot series
Breitling aviation timing series
Personally, I like Senator Glashü tte's series best (although he is five big and three thick, he likes this exquisite watch very much).
