A vintage military style watch
This watch comes to me from my great uncle who bought it after the war when he returned from the prison camp where he was, around 1945. It is a small diameter of 32mm. Military style, it is very elegant. The patina of the dial is incredible. It turns perfectly, I had it serviced recently, the watchmaker told me that the mechanism was of incredible quality/robustness. The red seconds hand brings a touch of originality. I put on a beautiful barenia calfskin strap which also takes on a beautiful patina. The small difference in size between the hour and minute hands nevertheless makes readability difficult.
