G. Gerlach PZL P.11c / Men's watch with a black dial on a leather strap

G. Gerlach PZL P.11c

Description

It is important to emphasize that this is not a watch branded by the G.Gerlach Foundation. This is a watch whose design was created by people gathered around the chinawatches.pl forum.

The creators of the foundation supported the forum community with their experience and knowledge to jointly create this wonderful watch - probably the most beautiful forum watch in Poland, if not in Europe. We are proud to have taken part in the realization of this project, and it is especially close to our hearts. It shows the inspiring power inherent in people, communities, hobbyists. This project represents the values on which the Foundation is based: passion, camaraderie, commitment, creativity.

For the first time in the Polish watch world, so many people were brought together by a common vision and passion. And so many people wanted to make even the most modest contribution to a common work. That's why they all - are creators. In equal measure. The result of this collaboration is the most thematically consistent forum watch ever realized. It should be emphasized that this is not a watch produced by a custom manufacturer. This is not a watch with minimal changes from the serial model. This is a watch designed and created practically from scratch. By colleagues - for colleagues. The forum community has chosen a theme for the watch - requiring commemoration of the cannon of Polish aviation designers from the PZL plant - the PZL P.11c fighter. The basic fighter of the Polish Air Force during the Defensive War of 1939. Popularly known as “eleven” is a faithful companion of dozens of heroes, a fierce and deadly opponent of the Luftwaffe, thanks to which the shoot down ratio, despite the technical superiority of the enemy, amounted to 1:1. An aircraft worth commemorating without a doubt!

The mechanism used is an automatic Shanghai 3LZF-2.

The silhouette of the PZL 11c aircraft is visible on the dial.

The steel envelope is provided with a screw-down lid.

The crown, equipped with a gasket ensuring water resistance at WR100, features an engraving depicting the old logo of the State Aircraft Works.

The strap is also complemented by a specially designed and made buckle stylized on the wing flap of the PZL P.11c aircraft - the characteristic “Pulawski flap”.
