When you consider that today's technology pits the pilot of a modern jet against the most rigorous of conditions - forces and speeds that the human body can barely withstand - it really is no mean feat. But like the brave pilots who wear the Military as they risk their lives daily, the people at Tutima did not rest on their laurels and two years ago, this heavy, well shaped wristwatch was fused into a lighter titanium version. The newer chronograph represents the next step in the evolutionary process of what was already an incredibly distinctive and durable watch.

The hollow-throat-borne push-pieces (shown in the illustration on the right) are easy to operate, even while wearing gloves - not a bad feature if you're a modern aviator (or just an active civilian). The Lemania 5100 automatic caliber that powers this high flying timepiece is sleek, efficient and eminently functional.

True watch enthusiasts tend to like chronographs that have an instrumental character, a build that is solid from the inside out. Regardless of who manufacturered it, true "functional" enthusiasts are almost always lured by objectivity, solidity and precision.

Tutima's chronograph, as noted above, is the German Military's official timekeeper.

A number of acid tests have earned the Tutima model a reputation for virtual indestructibility. The Tutima emerged, not just complete, but stoically keeping precise time at that.
