Crap Plane, Cool Watches: German Junkers Watches (Patreon)
Content
How about a watch that mimics the corrugated fuselage of a German WW II Junkers JU52 transport? Flown by Lufthansa as a commemorative aircraft still, these cool planes have a history and we'll talk about it. But as a warbird I think the JU52 is overrated in its reputation. It was too small, too slow, and they got mowed down in WW II by the Allies. The C47 was a superior aircraft.
But it's still a cool theme which these high quality German watches use. The sapphire crystals, lume, durability, straps, complications, and case work on these "Tante Ju" and "Iron Anne" [Lufthansa JU52 names] versions is superb. Their 42mm sizing was reviewed for TNPrs looking for smaller watches from the other pilot watches review here. Two cool versions shown here, now sold for other watches, are good looking low profile, classic timepieces.
