German watchmaking company Stowa has been around for more than a century, and throughout that time, it became primarily known for two things: pilots’ watches and marine chronometers.

German brand Stowa was founded in 1927 and became one of the five official suppliers of B-Uhren to the German Luftwaffe.

Founded in 1927 and headquartered in Pforzheim, Germany, Stowa is mainly known for producing accessible and robust military- and pilot-inspired watches.
