Stowa releases limited edition model to commemorate the opening of Shibuya PARCO

Stowa "Flieger Verus40 Shibuya PARCO Opening Commemorative Limited Edition"

A classic pilot's watch with an all-black dial that adds a new level of appeal

　Stowa, a watch brand from Pforzheim, Germany, has released the "Flieger Verus40 Shibuya PARCO Opening Commemorative Limited Edition Model" to commemorate the opening of Shibuya PARCO.

　Pforzheim and Shibuya are two cities that at first glance seem unrelated, but there is a select shop located between them. That shop is Tic Tac, which has stores all over Japan. While Tic Tac stocks brands at relatively affordable prices, it also develops its own original brand and imports and sells overseas brands. One of the brands that the company handles as an official distributor in Japan is Stowa.

　The "TiCTAC update Shibuya PARCO store," which opened on November 22, 2019, coincided with the renovation of Shibuya PARCO. The store incorporates new initiatives by TiCTAC, such as selling domestic and international vintage watches in a physical store and offering virtual try-ons. This model was released to commemorate this opening.

The "Flieger Verus 40 Shibuya PARCO Opening Limited Edition Model" is a special commemorative model featuring black indices and hands of the company's signature pilot watch, the "Flieger Verus 40." As a company that actually supplied pilot watches to the German military during World War II, the watch has a classic pilot watch design, with thick, round, and clear indices and long, wide hands that effectively enhance visibility.

　Stowa primarily sells its products online, and the only place you can see the watch in person is through Tic Tac affiliated stores in Japan. This not only makes it a valuable model that symbolizes the bond between the two companies, but also makes it an attractive pilot's watch with an exquisitely balanced design.
