Pilot Type B (Quad-Pulse)

B-UHR: SECRET WEAPON OF THE FIGHTER PILOTS

In the tense years leading up to WWII, European powers launched massive efforts to modernize their armed forces. Aviation was advancing fast—and with it, the need for precision tools in the cockpit. Military design bureaus issued specs for rugged new pilot’s watches, and among them emerged the most iconic of them all: the Beobachtungs-Uhr, or B-Uhr—built for high-altitude navigation, split-second timing, and deadly precision.

The Redwood Pilot Type B Quad-Pulse is forged in that same spirit. Inspired by the watches worn by WWII fighter pilots, it’s reengineered with modern specs, rugged internals, and mission-ready durability. You might not be intercepting enemy aircraft at 20,000 feet—but it’s good to know your gear was built like you are: tough, capable, and always ready.

Built for Combat Clarity

In the heat of a dogfight, every second counts. That’s why the original B-Uhr watches were all about legibility—and so is the Redwood Type B. The high-contrast dial puts bold minute numerals front and center, with inner hour markers for quick orientation. The sword-style hands echo cockpit gauges, built for fast reads under pressure. And the luminous-tipped seconds hand lets you verify movement at a glance—because when you're flying blind, even the smallest signal matters.

Glows Without the Fallout

The original B-Uhr watches lit up the night with radium—effective, but dangerously radioactive. The Redwood Type B keeps the glow, loses the hazard. We’ve outfitted it with Super-LumiNova: a modern, non-radioactive pigment that charges in sunlight and burns bright green in the dark. From the sword hands to all 12 markers, every key detail is coated for clear visibility on night missions—no risks, just readiness.
