Vintage 1910 Military Trench Watch – A Rare Piece of History

This vintage 1910 military trench watch is a stunning example of early 20th-century horology, blending practicality and timeless elegance. Encased in a 34 mm silver case, it features a white dial with Roman numerals and a small seconds subdial, evoking the classic design aesthetic of the era. Its acryl glass and robust construction speak to the watch's resilience through over a century of history.

Powered by a Swiss mechanical movement, this watch delivers precise hour, minute, and second functions. Adjusting the time is a fascinating vintage detail: by pressing a small button, the crown can be engaged to set the time—a unique and charming feature of early trench watches. Paired with a leather strap that fits wrists up to 20 cm, this piece is both functional and stylish. Serviced for reliable performance, it remains in authentic vintage condition, with signs of wear consistent with its age, adding to its storied character.

The Story of Trench Watches
Trench watches emerged during the First World War as soldiers sought timepieces more practical than traditional pocket watches. These wristwatches were designed to endure the harsh conditions of the trenches, often featuring luminous dials, robust cases, and protective glass. Transitioning from pocket to wrist signified a revolutionary moment in watch history, solidifying the wristwatch as a vital tool for both military and civilian life.

This 1910 military trench watch is more than just a timepiece—it is a piece of horological and military history. Perfect for collectors or anyone captivated by the evolution of wristwatches, this rare treasure stands as a testament to a bygone era of craftsmanship and innovation.
