A Flieger watch, also known as a pilot's watch, is a style of timepiece that originated in Germany during World War II. The term "Flieger" is German for "airman" or "flyer." These watches were specifically designed for German Luftwaffe pilots and navigators, prioritizing legibility and accuracy. Flieger watches typically feature large, matte black dials with high-contrast luminous markers and hands for easy readability in various lighting conditions. They are known for their oversized crowns, which were designed for easy use with gloves, and long straps to allow the watch to be worn over flight jackets. The original Flieger watches, also known as B-Uhren (Beobachtungs-Uhren), are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical importance and limited availability. The design includes two main types of dials: Type A, with a simple layout and 12-hour markers, and Type B, with a minute track on the outer edge and a smaller hour track on the inside. These watches were marked with "FL 23883," indicating their purpose and specifications.
