Selza Kriegsmarine German Navy WW2 Pattern Watch

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 (German 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 and also had light colored dials in either cream or white as opposed to black which was used for other versions of the German forces. The movement is an upgraded 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 during the war were fairly similar and shared much the same case design and general appearance.

This particular watch has a solid stainless steel case made from Military Grade 316L stainless steel, subsidiary dial second hand, hacking function and light coloured dial with contrasting black hands.
