Ok, i love my Stowa, as usual, i was presenting Stowa watches to my friend and i am showing him Stowa history via the wikipedia. Then i realised that in year:
1997, Stowa present 70th anniversary limited Fliegeruhr ("Pilot Watch") with Unitas 6300 N
2007, Stowa present 80th anniversary limited edition of Flieger Automatic and Flieger Original.
So, we are now at 2016. That means next year is 2017, which is STOWA's 90th anniversary. We should have an anniversary limited edition.
2017, Stowa present 90th anniversary limited edition of ........?
So for those who are keen, we better start budgeting now, just in case that you love the offering.
I have a feeling that it will be a Type A flieger with Durowe movement and a special Stowa consumable accessory to mark the 90th anniversary. Well, at least I can dream it will be.......
So the most likely choice based on past LE models would be another Flieger. The most likely choice based on what they're pushing now would be a Back 2 Bauhaus LE model.
I'm still crossing my fingers for the tiny, tiny possibility of a bronze case Blue ProDiver.
Antea limited edition was more expensive than regular edition? What was the difference in prices? When will we know the watch choosen for this new limited edition?
Last year is the year of Quartz Gold and Serenity, Serenity means blue, thats the reason (probably) why last year alot of blue watch in the market, IWC, Panerai, even Stowa have plenty of blue.
Now, with Pantone choosen Greenery as 2017 color of the year, perhaps, we are going to see green this year.
^ exactly what Stowa want: "Satisfying the growing desire to rejuvenate and revitalize"
Point to note, Jorg likes his lime alot, so the probability of seeing green this year is pretty high.
How bout a green / Lime military flieger for 90th LE?
I know clean dials are all the rage, but I'd love to see the return of anything with a day/date option. I'm not crazy about the typical rectangluar day/date window at 3 o'clock so many companies do, but I'm a sucker for things like the Antea day/dates windows...or for that matter any arced windows (Rolex/Hamilton/etc)...
I don't even care which watch - literally any Stowa with a blue or black (or lime?!) sunburst dial and an arc day/date window and I'll buy it.
It's about 9:40pm in Germany as of this post. If they work a standard 8/9am-5pm day like many companies in the states, I think we're waiting at least another day.
Well, that's what we all do, pushing the refresh button and getting unpatient. However and this is bad news no 90 anniversary models are showing up this morning (January, THU, 19th). The good thing is that we might see not only one anniversary edition.
Yeah, seriously, any valid argument goes out the window when you use that kind of language in this community. Let's focus on that limited edition bronze blue prodiver that's gonna be announced today. *fingers crossed*
Let's just hope that they get announced and are available at a time when everyone can get one.
Not a repeat of the Omega Speedy Tuesday LE debacle, where working stiffs in my timezone never had the opportunity to reserve one.
What also helps / keeps things real, is if a 50% (or more) down-payment is required.
Too bad I'll be at work by the time Mike wakes up / gets on-line ..... I'm expecting some fireworks and excitement (LOL)
A 37-38 mm Antea KS would be great. 35 mm is a tad to small and the 41 is too big.
IMHO a 37-38mm , would be a sweet spot.
