Notes
This type of watch was conceived for the German Ground Forces, for the Navy and for the Air Force. With the dimensions of a pocket-watch, it can be worn on the wrist. It is an observation watch with center seconds allowing the exact adjustment of time with a stop-system by "tirage" connected to the winding-crown.
