Aeschbach WW2 Pattern German Wehrmacht & Luftwaffe Dienstuhr (Army/Airforce Service Watch) with 21 Jewel Automatic Mechanical Movement
SKU Code: ABACH/DUHR2 This automatic self-winding Aeschbach military watch is a faithful recreation of the classic WWII designs used by the German Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe. While original wartime models are now rare and highly sought after, this modern version remains visually almost identical to the factory's WWII-era timepieces. Staying true to its heritage, this watch retains the acrylic crystal used in the originals but upgrades the 15-jewel hand-wound mechanical movement to a 21-jewel self-winding automatic movement. It also includes a manual winding option, ensuring both historical accuracy and modern convenience. The result is a watch that maintains its authentic outward appearance while offering subtle improvements for enhanced practicality in everyday use. Historical Background During World War II, the Wehrmacht, Kriegsmarine, and Luftwaffe sourced their timepieces from numerous Swiss and German manufacturers, including Aeschbach, which was established in 1923 and still exists
