Tutima

When you speak of precision based instrument watches that oversaw the two centuries of German excellence in watchmaking, you speak of Tutima. Rarely does any watch manufacturer instill in their watches a technical precision outside the famed Swiss convention. And in fact, when also speaking of Tutima movement, this German made movement can rival even the best of the Swiss.

Tutima’s history reaches far. It all began in 1845 during the height of watches, the clockwork era when pocket watches were yet the most coveted items. To alleviate poverty and instill direly needed crafting in the Erz mountain region, watchmaking was introduced. And there from modest beginnings, these apprentices overtime became skilled watchmakers that delight even the most critical connoisseurs around the world. As early as late 1800, when other countries are still learning the trade, the German excellence in watch making was already realized.

While Tutima did manufacture a magnificent line of luxury watches, what captured the world was the Tutima Instrument Watches, watches that are crafted of high precision and exceptional durability. Even on an era where wristwatches were still considered novelty items, Tutima already made it into the skies, crossing the 10,000 meter threshold. Pilot Roland Rohlfs created a new world record for Tutima watches, by his wearing a wristwatch that had withstand the rigors of near space.

With this direction in mind, Tutima had set forth to create the most withstanding designs of instrument watches. Here are some of the most successful designs of Tutima Instrument Watches, designs that are crafted for pure precision and excellence.

The NATO Chronograph

True to its strong heritage as instrument watches, the products belonging to the NATO Chronograph line demonstrate exceptional durability and reliability. Tested to meet even the most demanding environments, you can say that the NATO Chronograph watches are built like a safe. The NATO Chronograph is designed with pilots in mind.

Stainless steel case and ultra hard scratch, non reflective resistant sapphire crystal, these are the trademarks of the NATO chronographs. It is water resistant up to 20 bar, and the buttons and dials sit on recesses.

The Classic Flieger

Anything that bears the label “Classic” carries a great honor, which is a lineage of impeccable craftsmanship that has been passed down for ages. Classic always show the consummate craftsmanship, whatever the brand name, what ever the design.

That’s why in the Tutima Classic line of watches, what you see are the most prevailing craftsmanship. You’ll see that in Tutima Classic watches, there will be a wealth of standards that had set forth the general direction by which Tutima has chosen to follow.

You’ll know that the Classic line contains all the engineering to outlast even a lifetime. It isn’t crafted uniquely, nor is it crafted to be luxurious is detail and feature. It’s just crafted so exceptionally, that even after several years you’d be surprised that your Tutima Classic watch is still working as precisely as the first time you bought it. What you expect in the Tutima Classic Flieger is a stainless steel case with a bidirectional rotating bezel. It sports a convex crystal that’s made out of ultra hard, scratch resistant and non reflective sapphire.

The FX UTC

Here in the FX line, the Tutima Chronograph watches, while also featuring chronograph capabilities like the NATO chronograph, the FX line is a bit more by being a UTC model. This Tutima watch’s time is coordinated, corresponding to the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), so perfect for those who live by the clock. By setting the bezel to a correct position, the wearer can determine a second (or a third) time zone.

Tutima, you’ll see, didn’t acquire the status of the exceptional watchmaker simply because it makes “loud” watch concepts. Also, you’ll see that with Tutima, precious metals and gemstones aren’t workable materials.
