Time Flies With Junghans Meister Pilot
READY FOR ACTION AT ANY TIME
Aircraft and pilots alike are put to the test when adverse weather conditions occur, this is when humans and machines need to come together to demonstrate their abilities in these difficult situations. Their professional performances and fullest concentration are required in the cockpit as they fight to pull through safely under tricky circumstances. It is very important that the pilots can rely on their plane – and on their watch, every second. The New 2017 edition of the Junghans Meiester Pilot is just as solid and reliable or as an aircraft, it is now also protected against external influences with a special coating. Making it even more resistant and durable in use.
A PILOT WATCH WITH TRADITION
Junghans has taken the 2016 Meister Pilot original and vamped it up giving a beautiful upgrade and an even more robust surface finish, making it more distinctive than ever. The DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating is completely in a league of its own, I mean it really is stunning. The watch has dark anthracite colour which provided this watch with its own unique appearance, the material itself is quite astounding it provides the up most protection against scratches and marks which of course makes it the perfect and reliable co-pilot, what a watch this Meister Pilot is.
There is quite a strict guideline or specification when it comes to making a nautical watch which the new Meister Pilot adheres too, following in the footsteps of the legendary chronograph of 1955 which was issued to the then newly-formed Bundeswehr. The dial which is designed to look much like a dashboard instrument of an aircraft gives pilots a familiarity with its large dial with numerals which offer optimal legibility, as is also required for on-board clocks. Matte surfaces and the anti-reflection coated sapphire crystal on both sides perfectly keep thereflection from light to an absolute minimum, even when flying at night as well as this the intensive white luminous material keeps the time display in focus. The Meister Pilot is powered by a dependable automatic calibre, which grants the timepiece its independence – and the pilot the security that he requires of a co-pilot.
