Bespoke Project: Flieger ✈️
First bespoke project featuring the VH31 movement embraces this philosophy. Combining the unmistakable character of a Flieger pilot dial with the refined proportions of a GS-inspired case, this custom build brings together classic aviation aesthetics and modern everyday practicality.
Designed for those who appreciate a straightforward, accurate, and easy-to-wear watch, it proves that sometimes, simplicity is all you need.
Inspired by Aviation
At the heart of this build is a classic Flieger-inspired pilot dial, drawing inspiration from the highly legible instruments traditionally found in aviation.
Its clean layout, bold markers, and distinctive pilot-style hands make reading the time effortless at a glance.
The design is purposeful rather than decorative, giving the watch a character that feels both functional and timeless.
A Refined Case with Character
Surrounding the dial is a beautifully proportioned GS-inspired stainless steel case.
Its elegant finishing and balanced silhouette bring a touch of sophistication to the utilitarian pilot design, creating an interesting contrast between the dial's aviation roots and the case's refined, dressier appearance.
The result is a watch that feels equally at home with casual outfits or a more polished everyday look.
A Touch of Red
One of our favourite details is the red seconds hand.
Against the classic pilot dial and bold handset, it introduces just the right amount of colour without compromising legibility. The red accent adds energy and personality, complementing the traditional aviation-inspired hands beautifully.
It's a small detail that makes a noticeable difference.
Quartz Simplicity, Everyday Accuracy
Inside beats the VH31 quartz movement, offering a practical alternative to a traditional automatic watch.
For those who want something quick, simple, and accurate in their collection, the VH31 is an excellent choice. Its smooth-sweeping seconds hand also gives the watch a more traditional mechanical appearance while retaining the convenience of quartz timekeeping.
No winding routine, no unnecessary complications, and no fuss. Just dependable timekeeping whenever you need it.
Sometimes, having a quartz watch in your collection is exactly what makes sense.
Built for Everyday Wear
A sapphire crystal protects the dial, offering excellent scratch resistance for daily use.
The screw-down crown adds to the watch's practical design, while the combination of the refined case and clean dial keeps it versatile enough for everyday adventures.
Every element has a purpose, making this build as practical as it is visually appealing.
Finished in Olive
Completing the watch is an olive strap from ClassyFancy.
Its earthy green tone pairs beautifully with the Flieger dial, reinforcing the watch's military and aviation-inspired character while adding a relaxed, contemporary feel.
The olive colour also softens the polished look of the GS-inspired case, bringing all the elements together in a combination that feels distinctive without being overdone.
It's the finishing touch that makes this build feel complete.
Why We Love It
This bespoke project is a reminder that not every watch needs to be complicated to earn a place in your collection.
With its classic Flieger dial, striking red seconds hand, refined GS-inspired case, and olive ClassyFancy strap, this build balances traditional pilot-watch character with modern simplicity.
The VH31 movement makes it particularly appealing to anyone looking for a reliable, accurate, and low-maintenance alternative to an automatic watch.
It's straightforward by design, distinctive in character, and made to be worn.
A classic pilot-inspired design, with quartz simplicity at its heart.
