The Heuer Bundeswehr 1550SG Vintage Flyback Chronograph is an iconic military-issued timepiece from the 1960s, originally designed for German Air Force pilots. Its 43mm stainless steel case was considered oversized for the era, ensuring maximum legibility during critical missions. The black dial features luminous hands and markers, paired with bold chronograph subdials that provide both utility and balance. Built with a flyback chronograph function, it allowed pilots to reset and restart timing with a single push—an essential feature in aviation.

This watch is powered by the legendary Valjoux 230 movement, renowned for its durability and precision under demanding conditions. The leather strap complements its rugged tool-watch character, staying true to its vintage military heritage. Collectors prize the 1550SG for its authenticity, history, and timeless design, making it not only a functional chronograph but also a remarkable piece of horological and aviation history.
