FLIEGER 45G 2BR8

The Panzera Flieger 45G 2BR8 is an automatic pilot watch with a GMT function: it pairs the classic style of vintage fliegers with a second time zone on a 24-hour scale. This version combines a blue dial, a matt black IP-treated 316L steel case and a blue silicone strap. It is made for frequent travellers who want a rugged watch for everyday wear.

A pilot watch with a second time zone

The Flieger 45G takes its look from vintage aviation instruments and adds a contemporary function: a 24-hour GMT hand that shows a second time zone. The dial is oversized and crisp, and the hands and hour markers carry a Super-LumiNova luminous coating, so you read the time at a glance in any conditions.

Blue dial, black IP case and blue silicone

The blue dial is a more modern take on the flieger: just as legible as the traditional one, but with more colour and a tone that shifts with the light. 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 blue silicone strap is light and comfortable and brings a sporty touch to the wrist. It comes in an elegant presentation box.

Japanese calibre and 100 m case

At its heart is the Japanese NH34A automatic mechanical movement, proven, precise and robust: 25 jewels, a 41-hour power reserve, date and hacking seconds so you can set the time precisely. You can watch it run through the screwed sapphire exhibition caseback. The case is water resistant to 100 m, with a screw-down crown and a domed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.

Frequently asked questions

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.

How does the GMT hand work?
It makes one full turn every 24 hours and shows a second time zone, while the main hour and minute hands show local time. Home time is always in view.
