Original vintage  German Laco Movement manufactured in 1944<\/h3>\n

case:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The case design  of the Aviator 1944 is made of  Black PVD and  Stainless Steel 316L.  43mm square case with 4 massive real screws. This design is an homage and a smaller reproduction of the Russian board instrument used in the combat plane I16 during WW2. Each case is numbered on the back the number in the series. There are only 144 worldwide.<\/p>\n

The introduction of  this airplane dates back to 1933. The readability was the fundamental criteria behind the creation of the I16 watch, just as with the I16 aircraft board instrument itself. The final watch design is very close to the historical board instrument. The dial of the historical Aviator1944 is a nearly perfect copy of the original I16 board instrument. Strong Luminova optimizes the readability!<\/p>\n
