The case profile, at 42mm huge and 14mm tall, definitely lends itself to giving the watch a “trendy” presence on the wrist. The unique watch was primarily based on the A-11, a time-only watch with no elapsed time accumulator, that rang in at 32mm. As with many trendy re-editions, this watch departs from the unique in the case of case dimensions. On the Axis aspect, there have been many B-Uhr pilot’s watches that match the identical case dimensions as the fashionable A-15, however massive circumstances had been definitely not a widespread pattern within the watches the Allied forces had been utilizing. This can be a watch that may have labored completely with a 38mm case, however as it’s, it would not put on poorly – it is simply barely cumbersome. It is the sort of watch that makes your leather-based bomber jacket bunch up on the cuff. However not less than its recalcitrance to becoming underneath a cuff means it is at all times seen and makes it straightforward to inform the time, and even the elapsed time. A watch would do a pilot no good hiding underneath a flight swimsuit or bomber jacket. The bigger measurement can also be most likely not less than partly because of the further area wanted for the 2 rotating bezels.
