TUTIMA


Authentic German Military Returns


Tutima, born as a traditional watchmaker in Glashütte, Germany, relocated its production base to West Germany in 1945 during World War II, and continued its journey as a watchmaker specializing in aviation watches. In 2013, it returned to its birthplace, Glashütte, and unveiled a new collection at Baselworld.

Legendary Aviation Watch, Further Upgraded


The new "M2 Pioneer" is a revival model that incorporates the essence of the "M2 Chronograph," which was officially adopted by NATO forces. A distinctive feature is the central placement of the 60-minute counter hand alongside the hour, minute, and chronograph second hands. Furthermore, the hands and indices are generously coated with Luminova, a luminescent paint, ensuring excellent legibility even at night. The chronograph pushers on the side are light and offer superb operability.

The "M2 Pioneer" inherits the excellent characteristics of military aviation watches and adds another ingenious touch: a rotating bezel with 60-minute markings. By adjusting this to align with the minute hand, elapsed time can be tracked in minutes independently of the chronograph, similar to a dive watch. This function is invaluable for calculations in aircraft navigation and significantly enhances practicality. The inclusion of accessories, such as an interchangeable Kevlar strap, mirrors the comprehensive package of the "M2 Chronograph." This is an authentic model that aviation enthusiasts won't want to miss.
