Description
You are bidding on a VERY RARE used example of a WW2 German Wehrmacht Issue Longeau Pocket Watch! This EXACT watch is featured in Dr. Konrad Knirim’s, “Military Timepieces” book.
Produced for the German military, all issued wristwatches were required to follow a specific standard, this being: case made of a chromium plated brass; a manual winding movement; water resistant; dust/moisture proof; and are a total of 15 jewels. A secondary hand is to be located at the 6 o’clock position indicating seconds, and both main hands are to be luminous.
These were issued to both Officers and Petty Officers, and were usually issued on loan (though some were available for private purchase).
