WHAT WE LOVE:
The Stowa Flieger Original Airman Limited Edition (09/80) FL23883 is a remarkable tribute to the brand’s rich aviation heritage, blending historical authenticity with modern craftsmanship. As part of a limited production of only 80 pieces, this timepiece embodies exclusivity while staying true to the iconic Flieger (pilot) watch design that has defined Stowa’s legacy since the 1940s.
Encased in a 41mm stainless steel case with a brushed finish, the watch offers a clean and utilitarian aesthetic, built for durability and optimal legibility. The matte black dial features classic white Arabic numerals, a traditional Flieger triangle with two dots at 12 o’clock, and thermally blued hands coated with Super-LumiNova, ensuring outstanding readability in all lighting conditions. True to its historical inspiration, the Flieger Original Airman Limited Edition is a no-logo, no-date model, maintaining the purity and functionality of a WWII-era pilot’s instrument.
Completing the watch is a brown leather riveted pilot strap, staying faithful to the traditional aviation aesthetic. With its historically accurate design, meticulous craftsmanship, and limited availability, the Stowa FL23883 is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the heritage of Flieger watches and the artistry of mechanical timepieces. The screw-down case back has both, sapphire display case, and solid case with special engraving on the inside and edition number on outside. A neat rubber ball tool was provided for opening the case back.
WHAT’S INSIDE:
The FOLE movement makes this Flieger very special. Jörg Schauer wanted to make the functionality same as the original Flieger – a hand wound with hacking central seconds. He accomplished this by modifying an Unitas 6497 movement (ébauche is made in Switzerland by ETA, owned by Swatch Group). It is not a true hack in which, when the crown is pulled out, the seconds hand stops immediately. This is a special hack with “reset to zero” function, where the seconds hand does not stop immediately, it continues to run until it reaches 12, and then it stops.
