Lilienthal 1

Lilienthal 1 – The Berlin Original

The classic daily driver: the Lilienthal 1 is the first model ever made by Lilienthal Berlin – and to this day the most versatile. A quartz model with a 42.5 mm case, available in more colourways and strap combinations than any other model in the range. If you want a watch that genuinely matches your own style – not approximately, but precisely – this is where you have the widest choice.

The movement

A Japanese Miyota quartz movement. It runs precisely, needs a new battery every few years and nothing else. For a watch worn every day, that's a relevant advantage – no winding, no wrist-activation, no routine.

Case and materials

The 316L steel case is hypoallergenic and corrosion-resistant – no issues even for sensitive skin and daily wear. The sapphire-hardened mineral glass protects the dial against scratches from jewellery, work surfaces or everyday contact. The inner anti-reflective coating keeps the dial readable even in direct sunlight.

The right combination for every style

The breadth of the range is the real argument for the Lilienthal 1. From classic silver-white through warm earth tones to strong colour accents – the dial and case combinations cover a broad spectrum. Add four different strap materials, each available in multiple colours. That creates a depth of combination that very few other models at this price point reach. Anyone who invests time browsing the collection will find the version that doesn't feel like a compromise.

That's also why the Lilienthal 1 is such a natural entry point into the brand: it can be configured to genuinely match your own personality – not just the occasion.

How does the strap change the look?

Leather gives the watch warmth and a classic character – the natural combination for a clean, timeless look. The steel mesh strap reads lighter and more modern, sits close to the wrist and adjusts steplessly. The linked steel-link bracelet gives the watch more weight and presence – suited to occasions where the watch should also register as an accessory. The rePET strap in recycled material is the more sustainable option without looking sporty or unfinished. All straps swap tool-free – and the character of the watch shifts noticeably from one combination to the next.

Details for those who look closely

The typography of the numerals is modelled on Berlin street signs. The crown is shaped after the world clock at Alexanderplatz. If you know that, you see it. If you don't, you take it for granted – that's how good design should work.
