WW2 Luftwaffe watches

Surfing the web, I accidentally found what types of wrist watches the Luftwaffe staff used to wear:

1. Tutima (Glashütte) Flieger Chronograph



2. Hanhart Chronograph



3. Lange & Sohne Observer's Watch
(supplied also by other manufacturers, like IWC, Laco-Durowe, Stowa, Wempe etc.)



Apart from that, I found that the main manufacturer of Luftwaffe aircraft clocks were Junghans and Kienzle. The Junghans clocks that were used in Bf-109 had a 15 minute chronograph, to  help the pilot keep track of the combat time, due to the limited fuel capacity.





And a list of interesting links:
