Treat Yourself: Junghans Meister Pilot

Junghans Meister line pays tribute to the Schramberg-based watchmaker’s heritage, going back to watches from the 1930s renowned for their technical achievements. The Meister Pilot is based on a 1955 contract Junghans received to build chronographs for the then-newly established Bundeswehr, Germany’s armed forces. The Meister Pilot reinterprets that design for the present with its bold 43.3mm case and unique scalloped timing bezel. The case is also water resistant to 100m, a rugged touch for a pilot’s watch. For a military heritage-inspired chronograph, Junghans’ Meister Pilot is an under-the-radar choice offering serious style with the chops to back it up.
