Exceptionally
feminine

Right on cue for
Baselworld 2010,
Tutima revives an
old tradition: we present
a ladies’watch!
The »GRAND CLASSIC LADIES« comes in
three attractive versions – but they all share the
same quality features: ETA 2836­2 precision
movement with day/date, polished stainless
steel case, convex sapphire crystal, sapphire
crystal case back, water resistant to 10 bar,
leather strap with polished stainless steel
screws and polished stainless steel clasp. With
a diameter of just 36.4 mm, they are 6.6 mm
smaller than the Grand Classic men’s watches.
Black as night: the new Grand Classic Ladies
in pure elegance (ref. no. 610-03).
The white version (ref. no. 610-01) of the new
Grand Classic Ladies has a striking mother­ofpearl
dial.
The ladies’ Grand Classic (ref. no. 610-05) is
also available in brown, like the men’s models.
Some might say that this move
was long overdue. We would
say, however, that there is a time
for everything. As a company which
not only looks back on a long tradition,
but is determined to uphold that tradition,
we never lose sight of our heritage.
Ever since we first began to develop
top­class watches in the Saxon town of
Glashütte back in 1927, the name
Tutima has been a byword for reliability
and functional design.
The new Grand Classic Ladies again
lives up to that claim. It is no exaggeration
to say that the feminine version of
the Grand Classic, which was launched
to celebrate Tutima’s 80th anniversary,
is unique: on the one hand, it matches
the toughness, precision and characteri
stic aviation chronograph design of
the men’s models; on the other hand, it
comes with its own exceptionally
feminine flair, not only because of its
smaller 36.4­mm diameter. It is this
unusual combination that makes the
Grand Classic Ladies so absolutely
unique.
As unique as the
woman who wears it.
Basel 2010
Its ability to work reliably at water
pressure of 10 bar alone distinguishes
the Grand Classic Ladies from conventional
ladies’ watches, even in the
high­end segment. But this watch can
do even more.
As you would expect of a Tutima,
the new ladies’ series offers an impeccably
tuned combination of qua lity,
functionality and design. Quality
features include the Swiss­made ETA
2836­2 precision movement, polished
stainless steel case, convex, scratch resistant
sapphire crystal and the distinctive
sapphire case back. And, just like
our pilots’ watches, not only the time,
but also the day and date can be read
at a glance. Stylish but unpretentious
details, such as leather strap with polished
stainless steel screws and polished
stainless steel clasp, or the motherof­pearl
dial in the white version, add
the perfect finishing touch to these aviation
chronographs.
Although this may all sound fine on
paper, anyone who examines the real
thing will confirm that we can justly
claim without false modesty, with the
Grand Classic Ladies, our designers
and watchmakers have succeeded in
achieving that rare feat: the creation of
a new product which is instantly hailed
as a classic.

aUtoMatic
Tradition does not mean
to look after the ash,
but to keep the flame alive.
Jean Jaurès, French philosopher,
politician and pacifi st (1859–1914)
In addition to the new Grand Classic Ladies series,
Baselworld 2010 also saw the launch of yet another
innovation from Tutima: the Pacifi c Automatic with
43 mm diameter. This new instrument watch in the Tutima
Military line also comes in a choice of three different versions,
including one with a dial made of carbon, an extremely
light and tough composite. What they all have in common
is their timelessly elegant design and unconditional observance
of a strict principle: functionality takes top priority.
And so the Pacifi c Automatic continues the successful series
of timepieces in our Military line, such as the wristwatch
used by the German air force pilots, which has already
proved its dependability the world over as the offi cial
NATO watch. Like the Tutima Pacifi c 300, the new model
is a maritime version of that reliable aviation chronograph.
The Pacifi c Automatic has therefore been designed to cope
with even the toughest demands in hurricane conditions
at sea: with 60­minute diving scale and water resistant to
20 bar, it satisfi es even the most stringent standards in terms
of quality and resilience. Its practical stainless steel case
houses a reliable self­winding ETA 2836­2 movement with
day and date.
The scratch resistant sapphire crystal with antirefl ective
coating reveals a clearly arranged dial. Superluminova coating
on hands and numerals ensures good readability even in
the dark. The sturdy safety clasp guarantees that the solid
stainless steel bracelet will never open accidentally. And
fi nally, the integrated overall extension is an apparently minor
but practical detail. All in all, this is undeniably a new
masterpiece from Tutima.

deepest black and even tougher than our toughest favorites: the cases
and bracelets of the two new watches in the »Grand classic« series
are made of hardened stainless steel and coated with scratch resistant
black PVd, giving the »Grand classic Black chronograph« and the
»Grand classic Black« a really distinctive fl air.
a high-tech process results in extreme hardness, not only of the case
and bracelet surfaces, but also in the deeper layers of the material. the
outer PVd (physical vapor deposition) coating alone has the amazing
hardness rating of approx. 2000 Vickers, which is roughly equivalent
to sapphire. if this coating were applied to steel of ordinary hardness,
there would be a risk that it would indent the metal under pressure.
accordingly, the steel fi rst undergoes special treatment to make it extra
hard – a process which ensures that both »Grand classic Black
chronograph« and »Grand classic Black« will remain permanently
and immaculately black.

With around 3 million spectators from more than
70 countries, 4500 competitors and 1750 yachts,
this summer’s Kieler Woche regattas were again
a superlative sailing event. Tutima has been the official
timekeeper here at the world’s largest sailing regattas since
2004. This summer, we increased our commitment even
further. Moreover, the company also played a central role at
the »Robbe & Berking Classic Week 2010«.
Once again, the Tutima yacht (www.tutima­yacht.de) was
in the line­up at the start of Kieler Woche. Skipper Kirsten
Harmstorf’s team, already successful in World and European
Championships, again secured one of the top places,
thanks to the contestants’ skills and the first­class equipment
– which, of course, also included the reliable chronographs
that were designed specially to cope with the demands of
yachting.
This year’s Kieler Woche included the first contest for the
»Tutima German ORC Trophy«, which consists of several
IDM offshore and inshore races. Uwe Wenzel from Bremen
was repeatedly out in front in both sections and consequently
won the overall event, earning him a very special prize
from our company: a Tutima Pacific 300.
With its pure titanium case, this instrument watch can easily
cope with even the toughest conditions, such as pressure of
30 bar. It comes with a scratch resistant sapphire crystal with
antireflective coating, screw­down crown, bidirectional rotating
bezel, rubber strap and overall extension, making the
blue Tutima Pacific 300 the ideal choice for chasing new
regatta records.

Ingulf Ambrosius.
The »Robbe & Berking Classic Week« already enjoys almost
legendary status. Staged in Flensburg, Sønderburg, Kappeln and
Kiel, this traditional highlight is one of the major international
regattas for classic sailing yachts. This year again saw a radiant
winner: Dr. Hans­Peter Strepp with »Feo«, an 8mR racing yacht
that took part after two years of restoration work and, thanks to
its amazing speed, left the entire competition far behind.
At the awards ceremony, Tutima – official sponsor of the regatta
– presented the skipper and owner with a trophy that appeared
to have been designed with precisely this traditional regatta in
mind: a Tutima Grand Classic Havana, one of a limited edition
of 800.

Tutima presents »Award of the Skies«
Nostalgic airplanes, gliders, vintage vehicles and an
air show par excellence – the »Classic Days 2010«
caused the hearts of the 15,000 visitors who had come
to Schönhausen Airport in Berlin­Brandenburg in mid­
July to skip a beat. Highlight of the event was the »Tutima
Award of the Skies« organized by the German
Aero Club, with prize money of 10,000 euros. In its
role of sponsor of the German National Powered Flight
Team, Tutima presented the checks and crystal cups to
the winners in the three disciplines of aerobatics, navigation
flying and helicopter flying.

No fewer than 53 Olympic medallists and 75 world
champions came to Leipzig at the end of March to
attend the 17th German Olympic Ball, making it the
»outstanding sports gala of the year«, according to
BILD newspaper. Highlight of the glittering event,
which was themed »Medal Whispers«, was the presentation
of the »Top of the Sports« award. Of the ten
nominated world championship gold medallists, it was
speed skater Jenny Wolf – the reigning champion who
has already sprinted her way to 50 World Cup victories
– who proved most popular with the guests at the ball.
As official partner of the Olympic Ball, Tutima presented
the fastest woman on ice with her prize: a white
Yachting Chronograph.
