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.
Well, already at Munichtime last year Jörg spoke about the 90th annivesary and his "agenda". Stowa will have some events and special editions to mark the anniversary and I guess that the Stowa team is very busy those days.
One event, the "Stowa Genusswanderung" (hike and enjoy with Stowa), is already scheduled for July 16th, see Stowa FB.
Jörg also said that he will invest additional time into (more) online presence, events and the anniversary (limited) editions.
When looking at the DNA of STOWA, we inevitably are caught by our most popular watches, the Flieger watches. In various sizes and designs this watch model is since 1997 on the market and made a significant contribution for the renewed success during the last 20 years.
STOWA was the first manufacturer, who renounced the logo on the dial. (Meanwhile this is done by several companies). For the anniversary we again go one small step back in the past and we will launch in 2017 some special limited Flieger watches.
Always only 90 numbered watches of each version. This guarantees specificity!
> As main feature of the limited Flieger watches we will cover the luminated numbers, dots and hands of the models with a Vintage luminous material, the so-called Old Radium. With this we have a genuine noble vintage look!
> In addition all anniversary watches are provided with the Original STOWA Flieger watch case engraving.
> The handmade rotor has an anniversary engraving.
Not on the english spoken site but there also will be a Stowa Marine commemorating Stowa's anniversary as well as the 250th anniversary of Pforzheim - "Jubiläumsmodell 90 Jahre STOWA und 250 Jahre Pforzheim", a Marine Automatik Blue Limited with a 1970 Durowe movement.

I wish Stowa would add a brownish/greyish Marine watch to their cheaper, regular collection. Black and white watches have too strong contrast and in my opinion look good only with black and/or white clothes.
I'm slightly annoyed that they'd release a model so close in design to the MOBLE within such a close time frame.
Understand that they are different (movement, etc), but if I knew this was coming, I might have made a different decision. (Still love my MOBLE though)
To be honest, I'm not overly wowed with the Flieger models. It's mainly a different lume colour with a vintage style. I was hoping it would be something that paid tribute to the history of the brand, but also includes jörg's flair for design and colours which I really enjoy.
Well... I supposed this leaves me more funds for other 2017 releases (Halios seaforth, h2o carbon, etc)
Will the 90th Anniversary watches be lumed with actual Radium, a radioactive material with potential health consequences? Sorry for this question Jorg -- just want to understand the following:
"As main feature of the limited Flieger watches we will cover the luminated numbers, lines and hands of the models with a Vintage luminous material, the so-called Old Radium. With this we have a genuine noble vintage look! "
Can you tell me the specs of the Durowe 7526-4 movement? I tried to google it, but I couldn't find anything useful info.
