After only a 24 day wait from the time it was ordered my Stowa Flieger arrived this morning.
This one is the 40mm version with logo and hand winding movement on a brown strap. The hour and minutes hands are outlined in blue and the onion crown is superb. I can honestly say that it exceeded my expectations. It is really just lovely in its elegant simplicity.

Love the flieger look! How much was this watch?

Thanks Joseph. It cost just a bit over $1,000.

I knew I was going to really like this watch but it’s even better than I thought.

I’m going to be looking for a distressed brown strap to go with it...a bit darker than the stock strap. A few of the Colareb straps look like they would complement this watch nicely.

I have a MO and it was better than I expected for the money too. Very nice quality watches for the money.

I love that bright white dial on the MO.

Congratulations! This is my favorite flieger and it's an excellent value. I also think you got it in the best configuration possible (logo, no date, handwind).

Thank very much and I agree completely. With the options available this was the configuration that most appealed to me.

JayHantz · 8 February 2019, 02:03 PM

Many congrats! I am a sucker for simple dials and classic looking watches, and this checks all the boxes. Looks awesome and I love the vintage pilot watch. Enjoy it!

Nice! Excellent choice.

Stargazer735 · 9 February 2019, 06:16 AM

Very nice!

What movement is this, by the way? 2801 or 2804?

Curious to know if the crown has 3 positions (non-existant date) or just 2.

Thank you.
It’s the 2804-2 movement with 2 crown positions.

Right now I’m looking at a few Haveston canvas or NATO straps to go with it.

Thanks Steve. I’m really enjoying this beauty.

I forgot to include the case back in the original photos.

SemperFi · 15 February 2019, 04:29 AM

I swapped out the stock strap today for a Colareb distressed leather. Looks much better (in my opinion) and definitely fits my wrist better. Very happy with the purchase.

Burlington · 15 February 2019, 05:02 AM

This is really lovely !! thank you for sharing

myporsche · 15 February 2019, 07:49 PM

Really cool watch, I'm a sucker for Pilot/Flieger watches. The strap looks really comfy on yours. I currently have an Archimede.

I’m really happy with this watch. The strap is a Colareb, soft as butter right out of the box. I think the combo works very well.

GB-man · 16 February 2019, 07:09 AM

Cheers Angelo I’ve considered buying one of those myself. Enjoy it

Cru Jones · 16 February 2019, 08:50 AM

Looking good, nice pick up. :)
