Tutima Blues - The Patria Admiral

As I did research on the Tutima brand, it is said that the brand name is derived from the Latin word for “safe, secure.” Based in Glashütte as with many other watch manufacturing companies, the brand re-established themselves in 2011 when they released the Tutima Hommage Minute Repeater.

And they have gone from strength to strength. Not only did they designed their own Calibre 617 movement, they also produce their own spring barrel and oscillating system which is used in the minute repeater.

Encased in a 43mm stainless steel case, this beautifully proportioned Patria Admiral Blue
