MWC SKU Code: SELZ/KM1
This automatic self-winding classic WW2 pattern Selza* military
watch with a small subsidiary dial second hand is based on the typical designs
used by the German Kriegsmarine (Germany Navy) during World War II, one feature
which was common to all of the watches made for this branch of the German
forces is that they tended to have the initials K.M on the dial which is short
for Kriegsmarine, these watches also had light coloured dials in either cream
or white as opposed to black which was used for other versions of the German
forces.
This watch is closely based on one of Selza's WW2 designs, although
the original watches are now quite rare and tend to fetch high prices this
watch is outwardly almost indistinguishable from the factories WW2 models and
retains the acrylic crystal used on the original watches, also the original 15
Jewel hand-winding mechanical movement is upgraded to a 21 Jewel self-winding
automatic which can also be manually wound if required.
The watch offers the benefit of retaining the original outward
appearance whilst having the advantage of a few discreet updates to improve its
suitability for use on a day-to-day basis.
In WW2 Selza along with Siegerin were two of the leading
manufacturers for the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) they also produced watches for
the Luftwaffe, Fallschirmjäger (paratroopers), and Flak (anti-aircraft) corps.
Most of the German military watches at the time were similar and
shed much the same case size, whilst the British have the Dirty Dozen
collecting the German equivalents can be quite challenging due to the sheer
number of suppliers at the time which comprised over 100 different
manufacturers! This watch has a solid stainless-steel case made from Military
Grade 316L stainless steel, subsidiary dial second hand, hacking function, light
coloured dial with contrasting black hands.
For comparison the final image shows one of the original wartime watches so that you can see just how successfully the manufacturer has managed to create a watch which is extremely like the watches which they made in the second world war. This watch is popular with a lot of our regular buyers who are looking for something unique.
