Extended Ship Time From Germany. Special edition automatic color blue 42 mm Nato bracelet screw-down crown No. 958.02.01 - The J1 special edition commemorates the Junkers J1 - the first flying metal airplane in aviation history, which was developed by Junkers. Until then, airplanes had only been built from lightweight components such as wood, fabric and wire ropes. These had the disadvantage that the necessary external struts caused resistance and the payload and safety were naturally limited.Hugo Junkers was convinced that these fundamental problems could be solved by integrating the struts into metal wings. But making metal fly was considered impossible. Through intensive research in the field of aerodynamics, Professor Hugo Junkers succeeded in designing the optimum metal wing shape. In doing so, he revolutionized aircraft construction. The J1 was completed in 1915 and flew flawlessly on its first test flight. It was the only flight that the J1 ever completed, but it still went down in aviation history.The J1 is strictly limited to 1915 watches in memory of its year of construction, 1915.
