FLIEGER 45G 2BL1

With the Flieger 45G 2BL1, Panzera offers an automatic pilot watch with a GMT second time zone, inspired by vintage flight instruments. Here the combination is a blue dial, a matt black IP-treated 316L steel case and a black genuine leather strap. It suits anyone who likes a generous size and wants a solid travel companion.

Legible at a glance

Panzera took the language of period pilot watches, a big dial and legibility above all, and updated it with a 24-hour GMT function for a second time zone. The Super-LumiNova coating on the hands and hour markers keeps it readable at a glance, day or night.

Blue dial, black IP case and black leather

The blue dial softens the strictness of the pilot's instrument without taking contrast away from the luminous hands and markers. The 316L stainless steel case has a matt black IP treatment, which gives the watch a more technical, low-key look, like an instrument from the cockpit. The black genuine leather strap is the most understated option and works easily with a suit. It comes in an elegant presentation box.

Movement and construction

Inside runs the Japanese NH34A automatic calibre, with 25 jewels and 41 hours of power reserve. Besides the GMT hand it offers a date and hacking seconds, which stop the seconds hand while you set the time. The screwed caseback is a sapphire exhibition back; up front there is a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. A screw-down crown and 100 m water resistance round off a build made to last.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change the strap?
Yes. The black genuine leather strap is 24 mm wide and has quick-release fittings, so you can easily swap it for another one of the same width.

Does it suit a small wrist?
It has a 45 mm case and is 13 mm thick: a watch with presence, in the generous size typical of fliegers. On a slim wrist it will stand out.

How long does it run off the wrist?
The power reserve is 41 hours. Thanks to hacking seconds, when you put it back on you can stop the seconds hand and set it to the second.
