All about the Circula ProFlight Blue - pilot's watch
ProFlight – Modern pilot watch with technical precision
The ProFlight is an exceptional German pilot watch that combines classic design elements of historic pilot watches with modern technology and a clear design language. It stands for functionality, robustness, and highest precision – developed for everyday use and inspired by the world of aviation.
Made in Pforzheim, this timepiece combines German manufactory quality with proven Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship.
ProTrail/ProFlight – Update
Case and steel bracelet updates:
- 1 mm thinner and ergonomically shaped with unchanged water resistance of 150m and 80,000 A/m anti-magnetism
- new, grippier crown for ProTrail
- slight curve between the lugs, so that canvas straps as well as the new Pro steel bracelet fit flush to the case without gaps
- new Stainless steel bracelet with quick adjustment in the clasp
Design with aviation DNA
The distinctive design of the ProFlight incorporates typical features of classic pilot watches and interprets them in a contemporary way. The faceted stainless steel case is hand sandblasted and emphasizes the instrumental character of the watch.
The dial is particularly striking: The individually designed numerals ensure optimal readability and follow a clear design language that combines sharp edges with precise curves.
A special detail is the circular pattern in the center, which visually picks up the movement of the seconds hand and recalls the rotation of an aircraft propeller.
Maximum robustness in use
The ProFlight is consistently designed for durability. A special surface hardening makes the case and steel bracelet particularly resistant and provides a scratch resistance of up to 1,200 Vickers.
The slightly curved, double anti-reflective sapphire crystal on the inside reliably protects the dial and guarantees clear readability under all lighting conditions.
With a water resistance of 150 meters (15 ATM) and a screw-down, partially luminous crown, the watch is also well equipped for demanding use.
Anti-magnetic protection
Inside, a soft iron cage protects the movement from magnetic influences up to 80,000 A/m. This high level of anti-magnetism ensures reliable accuracy even in technically demanding environments.
Swiss automatic movement
The ProFlight is powered by the proven Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement in Elaboré finish, made in Switzerland. The caliber stands for reliability, precision, and everyday usability.
The combination of automatic winding and high-quality fine regulation guarantees stable and precise timekeeping.
Comfort and high-quality materials
The watch is available with both a robust steel bracelet with quick adjustment and a high-quality sailcloth strap. Both options offer high wearing comfort and emphasize the sporty-technical character of the ProFlight.
Hands and indices are coated with Swiss Super-LumiNova® and ensure excellent readability in the dark.
Compact proportions
With a diameter of 40 mm, a length of 46 mm lug to lug, and a height of 11 mm, the ProFlight offers a balanced size that is both sporty and suitable for everyday wear.
The proportions ensure a pleasant presence on the wrist without appearing intrusive.

FAQs
About David from WATCHDAVID
My name is David and I have been deeply involved with watches for many years – not only as a dealer but especially as a tester, photographer, and classifier.
Since 2018, I have been running WATCHDAVID as an independent watch project with reviews, videos, and genuine wearing experiences. Many of the watches you find here I have worn myself – often for extended periods.
WATCHDAVID.SHOP is deliberately kept personal. I only sell watches that I truly stand behind – no anonymous mass products, no dropshipping, no “quick trends.” Experience, transparency, and honest assessment are my priorities.
And yes: I am not an anonymous seller. I like good food, sneakers, and photography – and I have a noted weakness for Kinder Chocolate.
If you have questions or are unsure, feel free to contact me directly. I respond personally.
Shipping & Insurance
Within Germany and the EU, I ship free of charge. Shipping is done via DHL and insured up to 500€, 2,500€, or 25,000€, depending on the watch value. The watches are thus always sufficiently insured.
The delivery time can be found in the description and/or under the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after ordering, others are brand new and, for example, only available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...
Cancellation & Return Shipping
You can cancel your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.
I will cover the costs for the return shipping for you.
IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself, I will send you the free return label.
Please simply contact me for this. david@watchdavid.com
It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of signs of use. After successful inspection, I will refund you the purchase price. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.
Authenticity & Condition of the Watches
I guarantee you that all watches I offer are exclusively new original products. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly point this out (e.g. so-called PHOTO WATCHES).
As an official dealer, I offer you exclusively authentic products. These are offered in the original packaging, with warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in the so-called full set. One delivers more, another less...
Warranty & Service
All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which usually lasts two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.
If a warranty case occurs, I will take care of the shipping to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and also organize the return shipment to you. In addition, I handle all communication with the manufacturer so that you don't have to worry about anything.
Even after the warranty period has expired, I remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.

Something can slip past me sometimes too. Or the technology doesn't work as it should. Feel free to write to me again at david@watchdavid.com
Mechanics - Sometimes things can happen there too
