The watch is based on the typical designs used by the German Wehrmacht and the Luftwaffe during World War II. This particular watch is based very closely on one of Aeschbach' s original WW2 designs, although the original watches are now very rare and tend to fetch high prices this watch is outwardly almost indistinguishable from the factories WW2 models and is greatly improved by the upgrade to 100 m water resistance, and the addition of a shatter and scratch resistant box sapphire crystal which looks outwardly identical to the plexiglass crystal used on the original watches, also the original 15 Jewel hand-winding mechanical movement is upgraded to a 24 Jewel hand winding movement. The watch offers the benefit of retaining the original outward appearance whilst having the advantage of multiple discreet updates to improve its durability for use on a day-to-day basis. The original watches made for the Wehrmacht, Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe were made by a large number of Swiss and Germany manufacturers some of which including Aeschbach originally founded in 1923 continue to exist to this day. Most of the watches were fairly similar and whilst the British have the Dirty Dozen collecting the German equivalents would be quite challenging due to the sheer number of suppliers at the time which is just 100 different watch manufacturers!This particular watch has a heavy stainless steel satin finish case made from Military Grade 316L stainless steel, subsidiary dial second hand, hacking function, black dial and luminous markings. This watch is popular with a lot of our regular buyers who are looking for something unique. SPECIFICATION: Width inc. Crown: 39mmWidth exc.

Once fully wound, the watch boasts an average power reserve of around 42 hours. Exercise caution during the winding process because when the locking crown is secured, it adds an additional 3 or 4 winds while being screwed down, so this must be factored in. Most hand-wound watches of this type lack a screw-down crown, which we added to increase the water resistance rating to 100m/330ft.For those who wear the watch daily and wind it consistently, say, every morning, a slight variation in the number of turns will not significantly impact the overall power reserve because it will be well below the maximum of around 42 hours.Some users have reported that approximately 15/17 turns are sufficient when winding every 24 hours. This seems logical because the watch would not need a full wind after 24 hours. Nevertheless, individual preferences may vary, and most owners tend to develop a sense of the optimal winding routine within the first few days of ownership.Above all, it's crucial to emphasize the importance of not over-winding the watch, which could lead to locking up issues or, worse, damage or breakage of the mainspring. Adhering to the recommended winding procedures ensures the longevity and proper functioning of the timepiece.To clarify, over-winding occurs when a mechanism is wound beyond its designated stopping point, posing the risk of damage or destruction to the winding mechanism. Over-winding is a concern primarily for manually-wound watches, not for their automatic counterparts, which normally cannot be overwound.Price Includes tracked UK shipping with DPD/Royal Mail and International Shipping with Royal Mail International Signed For Service.Occasionally duty may need to be paid at your destination, International buyers need to check their countries custom and tax duties.
