Aeschbach WW2 Pattern Germany Luftwaffe / Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM) Pilots Watch with a 24 Jewel Swiss Sellita SW216 Movement and a Domed Vintage Box Sapphire Crystal
SKU Code: AESC/DUH1CH This classic hand-winding WW2 pattern Aeschbach* military watch features a Swiss 24 Jewel Sellita SW216 movement and a small subsidiary dial second hand. The design is based on the typical watches used by the German Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe during World War II. This particular watch closely mirrors one of Aeschbach's original WW2 designs. While the original watches are now very rare and fetch high prices, this watch is outwardly almost indistinguishable from the factory's WW2 models. It has been significantly improved with 100m water resistance and the addition of a shatter and scratch-resistant box sapphire crystal, which looks identical to the original plexiglass crystal. The original 15-jewel hand-winding mechanical movement has been upgraded to a 24-jewel hand-winding movement. This watch retains its original outward appearance while incorporating multiple discreet updates to enhance its durability for daily use. The original WW2 watches made for the Wehrmacht
