Military Trench Watch - LO 762 - Utan reservationspris - Män - 1901-1949

Swiss-Made Trench Military Watch – A Horological Relic of the Great War This vintage Swiss trench military watch from the 1910s is a remarkable piece of history, capturing the ingenuity and resilience of early 20th-century timekeeping. Encased in a 32x32 mm silver case, it boasts a white dial adorned with bold Arabic numerals and a small seconds subdial, offering a timeless and legible design. Protected by acrylic glass, the watch reflects the practicality required during its era. Fitted with a leather strap suitable for wrists up to 22 cm, it combines utility and comfort. Powered by a Swiss mechanical movement, this watch represents the technological excellence of its time. Graded as being in good condition, it shows some signs of use but remains a treasured artifact, likely having seen service during the First World War. With its elegant simplicity and robust construction, this piece transcends its function as a timekeeper, serving as a testament to the history it witnessed. The Legacy of WWI Trench Watches Trench watches emerged out of necessity during World War I, as soldiers required reliable timepieces to coordinate operations. Pocket watches were impractical in the battlefield, leading to the adaptation of wristwatches with soldered lugs and leather straps—what we now recognize as the modern wristwatch. These watches were often robust, featuring luminous numerals for visibility in low-light conditions, and shock-resistant cases to endure the rigors of war. Trench watches symbolize a transformative era in horology, as they bridged the transition from pocket watches to wristwatches, paving the way for the modern styles we know today. Owning such a piece is like holding a fragment of history, one that narrates the story of resilience, innovation, and the enduring human spirit amidst one of history’s most challenging periods. This Swiss-made military trench watch is not just a timepiece; it is a historical artifact that pays homage to the courageous soldiers of WWI and the evolution of wristwatch design. A true collector’s item, it offers a glimpse into the past with every tick of its movement. Case size 32X32 mm Strap can fit a wrist of 22 cm Express Delivery Via UPS Express
