In 1940, the German Reichsluftfahrtministerium (Imperial Air Ministry) created a specification for a Flieger watch (Flieger is German for Pilot) for it’s pilots to use for timing and navigation during flights. Also known as “Beobachtungsuhren” or “B-Uhren” (observation watches)

Two dial types were defined – Baumuster A and Baumuster B. The PANZERA Flieger F47-05D SIEBEL Limited Edition is a faithful homage to the Baumuster A design, that was produced from 1940 to January 1941:

-Large size dial
-Arabic numerals 1 to 11
-Triangle with 2 dots at the 12 o’clock position
-Highly distinctive diamond shaped crown to enable winding/adjustment whilst wearing flying gloves
-Hacking movement (the second hand stops when pulling out the crown – essential for precise time setting)
