The Stowa Flieger Verus Black Forest Lagoon gives you a lot of options for the overall looks, because the customer is King of course. The only thing you need to know is if you want a date, a logo, an automatic with or without a top finish or a hand-winder with top finish. Let’s explain this very black with a little turquoise three-hander.

The very black is a nod to the location of Stowa in Pforzheim, Germany, in the North of the Black Forrest. This black is paired with the color of the Blautopf, a little lake with very bright blue to turquoise water. Yes, a sort of lagoon. It’s an hour away from Stowa’s headquarters in the same state; Baden-Württemberg.

New Baumuster A dial design

The dial of this pilot’s watch is a new interpretation of the Baumuster A design. Read our article about the Stowa Flieger Verus 40 Baumuster B to learn more about this A and the Baumuster B design. The dial of this Black Forest Lagoon is matt black with black, shiny numerals and markers. These have black super-luminova that turn a very little light blue in the dark.

A nice combination with the hands, that are very high-contrast turquoise and have a high grade of super-luminova that lights up in blue-ish turquoise. Same for the aviator triangle at the 12 o’clock position. But now it becomes a little more difficult as you have to think about whether you want a date or not, also in turquoise. And then if you want a Stowa logo at 12 or not, again in turquoise. And both with super-luminova as well.

The Stowa Flieger Verus Black Forest Lagoon has a power reserve of about 40 hours depending on the movement you choose

Once you have figured out the dial you like the most for your pilot, it’s time to pick the movement. As for the movement of the Stowa Flieger Verus Black Forest Lagoon you have six options. The automatic Sellita caliber SW200-1 a or Sellita caliber SW200-1 b. So, with a date (a) or without a date (b). Then you can choose between the base version of that movement or the top version. So, with higher quality parts and a nicer finish, all with a power reserve of 41 hours according to Sellita.

But you can also go for the hand-wound version of the SW200-1, which is the Sellita caliber SW210-1. And then decide whether you want this caliber with a date (Sellita caliber SW210-1 a). Or without a date (Sellita caliber SW210-1 b). Whatever hand-winder you choose, it’s always the top version. Sellita’s power reserve for this one is 42 hours.

Prices for all those Flieger Verus Black Forest Lagoon options

First, all models come on a black leather pilot’s strap without rivets, with a pin buckle. Second, date or no date, logo or no logo, the price is the same. Only the movement changes the price (a little).

If you want the base automatic (with or without date) the price is 1.090 in euros. The top automatic adds 120 euros to that price. Should you go for the hand-winder (with or without date) add another 20 euros. Which are all pretty fair prices for a watch like this.
