FS: Glashutte Tutima German Luftwaffe Chronograph Watch c.1941 *LINK*

Dear All

For sale is this very rare and early Glashütte Tutima German Luftwaffe Chronograph wristwatch c.1941.

The Tutima brand was formed in 1927 by the creation of two companies based in the German city of Glashütte, UROFA (Uhren-Rohwerke-Fabrik Glashütte AG) and UFAG (Uhrenfabrik Glashütte AG). The two companies resurrected the failed Glashütte watch industry, which had collapsed due to the economic crisis that followed WWI.

The two companies began producing high quality timepieces which could rival any of their Swiss counterparts, mainly due to their reliability and durability. Consequently, the companies highest grade watches were granted the name “Tutima”, which derived from the Latin adjective “Tutus” meaning “safe” or “protected”.

The two pusher pilot chronograph began being developed in 1939 and were eventually manufactured by Uhrenfabrik AG Tutima of Glashütte, Saxony and by Hanhart of Schwenningen on the Neckar. These watches were the first German chronographs to have a flyback function. The first examples were delivered to the German government in 1941 and around 30,000 Tutimas had been issued by the end of the war.

The watch for sale is in excellent overall condition having been recently serviced by our highly skilled and experienced horologist.

The dial is in lovely original condition with no obvious flaws or blemishes.
