The J29 Tunnan (Swedish for "barrel") is a pilot watch, gathering attribute and inspiration from gauges found in the cockpit and pilot watches from the same era, 1940-1950’s. It’s a watch that has been designed with pure enthusiasm with the ambition to commemorate Swedish aviation and its legacy.
During this era wrist watches was in general smaller in size, something applied to this construction. A slim, 38,5 mm case makes it more dressed and all around than larger and modern pilot watches. The cathedral hands are based on hands in the gauges found in the cockpit, a typical design of pilot watches from the same time. The classic bullseye-dial with vertical brushing is timeless, and its appearance balance the classic flieger-inspired case.
To remain accurate to the 40’s and 50’s, the watch features raised, polished indices and printed second
and minute indices with round discrete spots of lume every five minutes. Combined with a double domed acrylic crystal, giving the dial beautiful light, the watch gives an expression of luxurious vintage.
