WW2 German Luftwaffe Stoppuhr – BOMB TARGETING STOP WATCH – ALPINA – PUBLISHED!

Made of a brass with a nickel-plated case, this Swiss-made Alpina Stop Watch is in EXCELLENT functioning condition, and is featured on page 379 of Dr. Konrad Knirim’s, “Military Timepieces” book. Though the crystal shows some light scratches, the dial and hands are in near MINT condition, with NO damage or corrosion! Note that because I use a camera flash, the scratches show up WAY more pronounced than they are in person. The manufacture name is clearly marked on the face, and was manufactured in 1944. Being in used condition, the case does show some signs of wear (scratches, marks, patina), but it is in otherwise VERY NICE condition for its age. The reverse is stamped with a prominent “RLM” (Reichsluftfahrtministerium), indicating Luftwaffe issue. Though it is 100% FUNCTIONAL, the Minerva movement has not been serviced in 30 years, ao I would suggest getting it cleaned for daily use. A VERY nice and original item for any collection, or display!
