【Description】
「フリーガー」とはドイツ語で「パイロット」を意味します。
航空機のコックピットでも帯磁しないよう裏蓋の中に軟鉄製インナーケースに特殊金属を使用しているのが大きな特徴。
このフリーガークロノグラフ Ref.3706は1994年に登場し、末尾の03はレザーベルトタイプを意味しています。(ステンレスブレスレットのモデルはIW370607という品番)
ケースサイズは39mmとパイロットクロノグラフとしては小ぶりで、非常に良いサイズ感です。
インナーケースの分もあり、厚みは15mmとやや厚さを感じますが、実は横から見るとラグにかけて腕に沿うようにシェイプしているんです。
そのため、腕に乗っているという感じでは無く装着している感がありますね。
リューズは当時の防水ケースを示す、魚マークのリューズ。
文字盤はマットなブラックダイアルにホワイトのアラビアインデックス、ペンシルハンドとミリタリー感のあるデザイン。
針、文字盤の夜光塗料はルミノバのタイプですので00年代の時計と推測されます。
ムーブメントはValjoux(バルジュー)7750をベースにしたCal.7922を搭載。
金メッキの仕上げが施され、ネジはブルースティールと見えない部分ながら非常にこだわりを感じます。
余談ですが、90年代後半から00年代前半、この時計の新品販売価格は30万円近辺でした。
当時、ロレックスのサブマリーナ ノンデイト 14060MやGMTマスター2 16710のペプシベゼルもほぼ同じ価格で販売されていました。
現在の価格はかなり開きがあるものの、時計自体のクォリティとしてはロレックスのスポーツモデルと肩を並べるような存在であったということは知っておいて損は無し。
同年代のロレックスはご存知の通りの価格ですが、オメガのスピードマスターなど、人気が高まっているモデルもあります。
ポストヴィンテージとも言われることもあるこの年代の時計は、比較的小さいサイズ感、ヴィンテージの面影を残すデザイン、耐衝撃などの面でヴィンテージよりも心配が少ないことから初めての方には非常におすすめです。
FULUCOの茶色のレザーベルト、純正の尾錠が付属します。
この革ベルト、あまり馴染みのないブランドかもしれませんが肉厚でとても質感が良く高級感がめちゃめちゃあります。
NATOストラップやオリーブグリーンのベルトに変えてミリタリーっぽくするのも良いですね。
【Warranty】
※こちらの時計はオーバーホール後のお渡しとなります。ご注文後、約4週間後のお渡し予定です。
オーバーホール後、1年保証となります。
【Description】
The word “Flieger” means “pilot” in German.
It has a soft-iron inner case in the back that is made of a special metal to prevent it from being magnetized in the cockpit of an aircraft.
The Flieger Chronograph Ref. 3706 was introduced in 1994, and the “03” at the end of the name refers to the leather-belt version. (The model with the stainless steel bracelet is number IW370607.)
The case size is 39mm, which is small for a pilot’s chronograph and a very good size.
Due to the inner case, it is a little bit thicker at 15mm, but when you look at it from the side, it is shaped to follow your arm with the lugs.
Therefore, you can feel like wearing it rather than riding on your arm.
The crown is a fish-marked crown, indicating the water-resistant case of the time.
The dial is designed with a matte black dial with white Arabic hour marker, pencil hands.
The luminous paint on the hands and the dial is of the Luminova type, so it is assumed to be a watch from the 00s.
The movement is equipped with Cal.7922 based on Valjoux 7750.
The finish of gold plating is given, and the screws are made of blue steel and very particular about the part that cannot be seen.
As a side note, in the late 90’s and early 00’s, this watch sold for around 300,000 yen as brand new.
At the time, the Rolex Submariner Non-Date 14060M and GMT Master 2 16710 with Pepsi bezel also sold for about the same price.
While the prices today are quite a bit different, it should be noted that the watches themselves were on par with Rolex sports models in terms of quality.
Rolexes of the same age are priced as you know, but there are some models, such as the Omega Speedmaster, that are growing in popularity.
Sometimes referred to as post-vintage, watches of this era are highly recommended for first-time wearers because of their relatively small size, their vintage look, and the fact that they are less worrisome than vintage watches in terms of shock resistance.

About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
