Issued to pilots in the air forces of several nations — including the Italian Air Force, under the brand Leonidas, which Heuer acquired in the '\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e60s — it's best known for its use by the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eLuftwaffe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e of West Germany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e From the 1960s to the 1970s, the Bund saw a range of dial configurations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis particular example, a Reference 1550 SG, remains in truly excellent condition. Its corrosion-resistant case houses a very clean matte black tritium dial with a matching handset and Valjoux's Calibre 22 hand-cranking flyback chronograph movement. Furthermore, the Bund offers a second timing mechanism with the fully-graduated rotating bezel. Though it lacks the characteristic \"3H\" tritium signature and military issue markings on the caseback — indicating that it was either not issued, or was repurposed for civilian sale — its excellent condition makes it perfect for collectors of mil-spec gear. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFunction.
