Messerschmitt, the illustrious name of one of Germany's most important aircraft manufacturers, is still effective today. There is hardly a product of this company that has not achieved legendary fame. The ME-109 fighter, the first ME-262 jet or the gigantic ME-323 transport aircraft are just three of the most outstanding works of its creator. This even applies to the post-war vehicles. The Messerschmitt cabin scooter was the first car for many in the 1950s. In the 1970s, Messerschmitt merged with Bölkow and Blohm to form MBB. This was good for innovative products such as the legendary BO-105 helicopter. However, the world-famous name disappeared from public perception. The German watchmaker Aristo has once again remembered the famous aviation pioneer and launched its own collection in his honor. And this one is something to be proud of. Messerschmitt watches impress with an unusual design and excellent quality. In doing so, they enrich the world of watches in the mid-price segment with another interesting brand with which you can set accents.
Messerschmitt watches come from Aristo. For a long time, this traditional watch manufacturer was one of the most important suppliers of inexpensive but reliable timepieces. At the beginning of the 1990s, it became quieter around the former million-seller. Today, Aristo is once again appearing with a number of interesting brands that want to serve customers with slightly different preferences.
In addition to Messerschmitt, the company also offers watches under its own name, the women's collection "Aristella" and the brand "Erbprinz". Aristo is thus pursuing a similar strategy as Vostok Europe. The brand's watches impress with a classic aviator design and interesting applications. The price is reasonable for beginners in the world of higher-quality utility watches. However, the quality is in the finest Made-In-Germany tradition. This makes Messerschmitt watches stand out pleasantly from the fashion watches from the same price range.
It is true that Messerschmitt watches appeal to a very specific target group. These are enthusiasts who like to go to air shows, maybe have an RC model themselves and have read up on a lot of knowledge about classic warbirds. People from this target group will be very happy about the gift of a Messerschmitt watch - but others may well be irritated by it. After all, the manufacturer played an important role in the Second World War. But here is a solution: If you are not enthusiastic about a Messerschmitt pilot's watch, you will find pleasure in the Messerschmitt cabin scooter watch.
The basic design of Messerschmitt watches is based on the classic pilot's watch. Unlike the mighty diver's watches, pilot's watches are rather flat. They usually have a dark dial with clear, high-contrast numbers. These are written in fluorescent paint and convey a real pilot feeling. Not every Messerschmitt watch is dedicated to a specific aircraft. Many are also neutral, but this does not detract from their aesthetics.
What is really interesting about Messerschmitt watches is their choice of materials. While high weight is a sign of quality for many watch manufacturers, Aristo is taking a different approach with its subsidiary. There are also Messerschmitt watches with a steel case. In addition, wristwatches made of titanium are available. A highlight is the "BF 110 Alu" series. This watch has a dial made of original aircraft aluminum sheet. You won't find that anywhere else from any manufacturer.
Also interesting is the model "ME-3H211 Flieger 47 Pilot". This highly functional watch is "unbranded", which means that neither name nor logo are depicted on the dial. It is equipped with a reliable automatic movement from Switzerland. This means that the watch, which costs almost 600 euros, not only looks like a real pilot's watch, it can also be used as such.
Messerschmitt watches are offered in the following categories:
Messerschmitt watches for aviators are the heart of the brand. The spectrum ranges from inexpensive entry-level models in a pilot's watch look to models that can actually be used for this purpose. The boundary between homages and homages is blurred. Above all, the cheaper pilot's watches come up with an additional imprint with a certain model of the famous aircraft manufacturer. From there, it's off to the homages. These are also dedicated to a specific type of aircraft, but no longer have the typical pilot's watch design. Nevertheless, the watch manufacturer calls them all "pilot's watches". The chronographs of Messerschmitt watches are conventional and offer a heavy, reliable quality. They round off the manufacturer's offering, but by no means form the core of the brand. This is clearly due to the pilot's design watches and the real pilot's watches - with or without homage to a specific aircraft. A little outside are the models of the "cabin scooter" collection. This small vehicle also has its fans, who don't necessarily have to like airplanes. But the cabin scooter watch is something for lovers of classic cars.
It is striking that Messerschmitt watches do not want to please everyone. Some designs are highly specific and only appeal to a narrow target group. With other models, however, the manufacturer is taking paths that can certainly inspire. These include the Messerschmitt watches with a two-part dial. You have to know a bit about aviation to understand that an artificial horizon - one of the most important instruments in the cockpit - is hinted at here. Messerschmitt watches take this design in these models and implement it for interesting timepieces. Other watches delight with their simplicity. The ME108-80L chronograph, with its minimalist design and domed glass, is already based on the aesthetics of Glashütte or Junghans. The ME-4H184 chronograph also impresses with its trendy green dial, which goes perfectly with the brown leather strap. If you don't just want to look at your timepiece, you want to feel it, you'll also find something suitable at Messerschmitt watches. The ME Pilot Night & Day Auto and the ME-3H147Lumi1 have a shipping weight of a mighty 200 grams. They weigh twice as much as all other Messerschmitt watches. The ME Pilot Night & Day Auto is based on the legendary observation watch and can also be used as such. The ME-3H147Lumi1 is equipped with an automatic movement and a glass back. This allows glimpses of its inner workings, which is not a matter of course in this price range. You can get all this at Messerschmitt watches at an astonishingly low price. However, you don't have to worry about the quality. Messerschmitt watches come from Germany with movements from Switzerland. You can't expect more from a watch.
