Its sand-coloured effect lacquer dial sits inside a brown-black DLC-coated stainless steel case, and luminous dial markings and hands keep the time clear by day or by night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides improves legibility further, and a bi-directional turning bezel lets you mark elapsed time at a glance. The self-winding calibre J880.4 provides the stop function, 30-minute counter and small seconds, with a power reserve of 38 hours (without chronoscope function). The case measures 43.3 mm across and 14.4 mm high, with a case back retained by seven screws and engraved \"aviation,\" and it is water-resistant up to 10 bar. A riveted leather strap with a DLC-coated stainless steel buckle completes this distinctive desert-toned pilot's watch, a piece that stands out in any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSand-Coloured Effect Lacquer Dial\u003c\/strong\u003e – a warm tone inspired by desert dunes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrown-Black DLC Case\u003c\/strong\u003e – 43.3 mm stainless steel with a DLC-coated buckle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJ880.4 Self-Winding Chronoscope\u003c\/strong\u003e – stop function, 30-minute counter and small seconds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDay-and-Night Legibility\u003c\/strong\u003e – luminous markings and hands under a double-sided anti-reflective sapphire crystal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBi-Directional Turning Bezel\u003c\/strong\u003e – for timing intervals on the go.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27\/3398.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pilot\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-winding movement calibre J880.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Reserve:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38 hours (without chronoscope function)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stop function, 30-minute counter, small second\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sand-coloured effect lacquer, dial markings and hands with luminous substance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown-black DLC-coated stainless steel, bi-directional turning bezel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43.3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.4 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Back:\u003c\/strong\u003e Case back retained by 7 screws and \"aviation\" engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domed and anti-reflective sapphire crystal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 10 bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather strap with riveting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuckle:\u003c\/strong\u003e DLC-coated stainless steel buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Schramberg, Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTimepiece History\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJunghans was founded on April 14, 1861, in Schramberg in Germany's Black Forest, when Erhard Junghans and his brother-in-law, Jakob Zeller-Tobler, set up a firm making parts for large Black Forest clocks; the first complete Junghans clocks followed in 1866. By 1903, Junghans had grown into the largest clock manufacturer in the world, and in 1918 it completed its nine-level terrace building, the Terrassenbau, which today houses the Junghans Terrassenbau Museum. Owned by the Steim family since 2009, Junghans remains based in Schramberg today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJunghans' aviation story began early: in 1917 a Junghans on-board clock flew on an airship that set an altitude record of 7,600 meters, and in the 1930s Junghans made control-panel instruments and on-board clocks for aircraft and airships. In the 1950s Junghans designed the J88\/0111 pilot chronograph for the German Armed Forces, known for its turning bezel, and Junghans traces its Pilot family back to the chronograph it developed in the mid-1950s for the newly established Bundeswehr. Those 1950s originals had chrome-plated bronze cases; today's Pilot Chronoscope carries the idea forward in stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Junghans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50925062914096,"sku":"27\/3398.00","price":3280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/1764\/4336\/files\/pilot-chronoscope-desert-1-1440.webp?v=1793403858","url":"https:\/\/elizaldejewelers.com\/products\/junghans-pilot-chronoscope-desert-27-3398-00","provider":"Elizalde Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
