Custom Steinhart B-Uhr

A few years ago I was lucky enough to request and have Herr Gunter Steinhart of Steinhart watches custom build me a 44 mm B-Uhr.  He agreed to build me a watch in a stainless steel 44 mm case with sapphire crystal, solid case back, gold frosted hands and a brown tropic B-Uhr-style dial.  A diamond-type crown winds an ETA 2824-2 inside the watch.  

I don't know if Herr Steinhart is still taking requests, but the result is at-a-glance time reading at its best.

The watch totally scratched my itch for an IWC Big Pilot.  Much more wearable than 47 mm and under US$1,000.  

The only issue I had was FedEx (in the Tennessee hub of all places!) during transit as the watch was shipped out from Germany, but that's another story for another time.

Steinhart Nav B-Uhr II

A BIG Thank You goes out to Mr Gunter Steinhart for this piece.  In the last two pictures are two pilot watches, one uses a pattern from the British, while the other gets its design cues from Germany.  Both have remarkably similar elements (arabic dial, large readable hands, triangle marker in place of the number 12), yet they are also very different in style.
