Manufacturer of Pilot's Watches
During World War II, pilot's observation watches were produced by various manufacturers such as IWC, Stowa, Wempe, Lange & Söhne and Laco for the German Air Force to meet the requirements of the Reich Air Ministry. These watches, also known as navigational watches, were worn by navigators on board aircraft and used in combination with an octant to determine the aircraft's precise position.
