Tutima Grand Flieger Airport Automatic — Ref. 6107-01, Zeit Edition
Everyone shopping German-made under two grand reaches for a Sinn or a Nomos on reflex and never opens the Tutima page — which is funny, given Tutima is the brand actually issuing watches to Luftwaffe pilots. This is the Grand Flieger Airport, and it's a Zeit Edition: one of a hundred, numbered on the back. The caliber is 330 — a regulated automatic in a 41mm German case, day-date, 200m, ceramic bezel, domed sapphire over a deep blue dial that does real work in low light. Compact at 41mm and wears like less: mostly dial, short lugs. Condition: pre-owned. Case, crystal, bezel and movement are all excellent — brushed surfaces crisp, sapphire clean, ceramic bezel unchipped, exhibition caseback sharp with the 021/100 numbering clearly legible. The grey Cordura strap is fraying at the edges and the steel deployant clasp shows light surface wear. The strap's a consumable — a few quid to swap if you want it fresh. Photos show everything; nothing hidden. Specs: Tutima Grand Flieger Airport Automatic, ref 6107-01. 41mm stainless steel, 13mm thick.
