Tutima’s original 1941 Flieger flyback chronograph is a watch that I have always admired, one of the first flyback chronographs, featuring the fluted rotating bezel with red marker that has since become a Tutima hallmark. Now one of these historic pieces – that Tutima say has a commercial value of about €8,000 today, which surprised…
The Saxon One Lady by Tutima is a nice size for women at 36 mm, 10.7 mm thick, and the cushion-shaped dial with flat truncated pyramid styling gives it distinctive looks. The basic model has a stainless steel case with differentiated satin and gloss finish, and more elaborate models have a ring of 48 diamonds…
Saxon One Royal Blue by Tutima Glashütte is a beautiful chronograph with a lovely shade of blue used for the dial. It is unusual in that it is one of the few chronographs offering a radically different display: in this case, with centre-pivot hands for both chronograph seconds and chronograph minutes. Everything is nicely organized and well…
Tutima Glashütte is a brand that has no hurry about presenting new watches. The brand completed their relocation to Glashütte in 2011, and two years later, they presented four lines, Saxon One, Grand Flieger, M2 and Patria. From then on, they have been concerned principally with consolidating their position on the market. The new Saxon…
Tutima, founded in Glashütte, Germany, in 1927, celebrates its 90th anniversary with a new version of the Tutima Fliegerchronograph made in the 1940s.

The flyback function was given the name Tempostopp at the time, and this has been used for…
The Tutima Glashütte M2 Seven Seas, presented at Baselworld 2016, is a very attractive diving watch, sleek and compact enough to be perfect as an everyday sports watch, but with a performance that makes it robust and reliable underwater. The case is in pure titanium, 44 mm in diameter, 13 mm thick, with 3mm-thick watchglass and…
The Grand Flieger collection by Tutima is directly descended from the pilot’s chronograph made in the late 1930s and early 1940s, that was fitted with the UROFA 59 flyback chronograph movement. It is shown in the photo below, image courtesy of Tutima: The historic chronograph was comparatively small when compared to the B-Uhr watches made…
This watch was developed from the Tutima Military Chronograph, also known as the NATO, reference 798, introduced in 1984, a chronograph with centre-sweep chronograph seconds and minutes hands, and the unusual feature, for a watch of this type, of the day as well as the date. The NATO had a Lemania 5100 movement, a calibre…

But the Tutima story is a little different from…
