WUSSE - Design (Part 1) - The Case

[Icestorm]

luminous dial would be very sexy indeed. But that is a discussion for further down the road, I imagine.

I prefer an aviation. Cause I already have a nav-b and the aviation is on my wishlist right now

I say my first choice would go to a Triton style case. Maybe with a fixed bezel? It would make it more like a 45mm "field watch", instead of a diver. I have no photoshop skills, so I can't create an example. I think that case combo would be VERY unique, and not just within the Steinhart lineup!

2nd choice would be the 44mm pilot watch case.

Imagine Steinharts interpretation of an A-dial Marine watch, white/cream dial, polished bezel, brushed case

[Tempus Fugit]

I'd go with the 44mm Nav-B-Uhr II w/22 mm lugs and the crown at the 3 o'clock position.

I think the theme is most important as it will determine the look of the dial as well as the movement...and any embellishments it may have, if it's deemed to have a display back.
To me I know this is a case discussion, but the other elements can't be left for later. I agree with the many members here, that certain cases suit certain overall looks.
My preference it's for a Nav-B-Uhr 47mm, hand wound or auto with a crown at 9 O'Clock. Bronze or Rose Gold, brushed case, polished bezel.
Theme for me is for a Freiherr von Richthofen Historic Edition.
Then we can have some red accents on the hands/dial and some on the movement. Maybe even RED Lume accents...?
Both historic & contemporary......

Sounds cool, I was also thinking of some Red Baron style, it is very tempting and your suggestions regarding the watch design are very interesting.

WUSSE is for me WUSEE, not a tematic watch. The uniqe of these watches will be that they are WUSSE, not because they reflect to a person / theme. However considering red elements sounds interesting.

im sold on Red Baron too, especially if there is a small picture of a fokker on the dial!

sti8k, silver dial huh....I really like these IWC Father & son BP's..... However, you will need to stay tuned to this forum & the Steinhart website for another very beautiful, interesting & very soon to be released Nav.B....................

Right, back to cases... Using the 44mm Nav.B case & as mentioned by our mate Triton, we could increase the height of the bezel. An example of this already being done would be the IWC Big Pilots...... Very nice design element....

Hi Riker,

Soon to be released Nav.B? Is it the limited Titanium Nav.B Vintage?
This is getting exciting...
