German Junghans Meister Pilot Automatic Small Second 27/4490.00 watches from the Meister line are a reincarnation of the legendary Junghans watches that were supplied to German Bundeswehr pilots after 1955. They are still produced today in a virtually unchanged design.
The Junghans Meister Pilot 27/4490.00 watches are fitted with the J880.1.6 automatic movement, based on the Swiss Sellita SW261 movement. The manufacturer fits it in the watches in Elaboré grade with increased shock protection (Incabloc) and an adjusted maximum daily deviation of +/- 14 seconds. The power reserve is up to 38 hours. At the 6 o’clock position, there is an off-centre seconds hand; at the unusual 12 o’clock position there is a date display, which evokes instruments on an aircraft dashboard. The case of these watches is made of stainless steel with a DLC treatment, which provides high scratch resistance.
The dial, dominated by bold numerals, is protected by a sapphire crystal, which is highly scratch-resistant. Added value is the anti-reflective coating on the inner and outer side of the crystal, thanks to which the watch is highly legible even in bright sunlight. The bezel is bi-directional rotating.
Water resistance is 100 metres (10 ATM), so the watch can handle contact with water, such as swimming.
