You are offerding on aVERY RARE used example of a WW2 German KriegsmarineIssueBERG Service Wrist Watch! This EXACT watch is featured in Dr. Konrad Knirim\'s book titled, \"Military Timepieces\".

Produced for the German military, all issued wristwatches were required to follow a specific standard, this being: case made of a chromium plated brass; a manual winding movement;water resistant; dust/moisture proof; and are a total of 15 jewels. A secondary hand is to be located at the 6 o\'clock position indicating seconds, and both main hands are to be luminous.

Made of a stainless steel case, thisSwiss-made Berg watch is in EXCELLENT functioning condition, and featured on page 266 of Konrad Knirim\'s book titled, \"Military Timepieces\". Though the crystal shows some light scratches,the dial and hands are in near MINT condition, with NO damage or corrosion!Note that because I use a camera flash, thescratches show more pronounced than they actually are in-person). The manufacture nameis clearly marked on the face, and was manufactured between 1939 and 1945. The dial is clearly marked \"KM\", indicating it was a Kriegsmarineit was an issued timepiece.Though the case does show some signs of wear (scratches, marks, patina), it appears to be in UNWORN condiiton! The strap is a replacement. I had it running for almost 24 hours on a full wind. For reference, the other codes produced were:

DH: Dienstuhr Heer

D: Dienstuhr Luftwaffe

DRGM: Deutsches Reich Gebrauchsmuster

RLM: Reichsluftfahrtministerium

KM: Kriegsmarine

DU: Dienstuhr (Verwaltung)

Though the \"D\" marked watches were specific to Luftwaffe units, there is evidence that\"DH\" coded watches were also issued to Luftwaffe personnel and possibly other service organizations.Note that the PUW 500 (Pforzheimer Uren Werke 500) movement has not been serviced in 30 years, so even though it is currently running, I would suggest getting it cleaned for daily use/wear. A VERY nice and original item for any collection, or display!NOTE: I have NUMEROUS other markers and styles in stock. Please contact me if you are looking for something specific.
