Description: A real pocket chronometer of a German submarine captain! A high-precision watch (Beobachtungsuhr, class II chronometer), with a very high-quality machine, and most importantly, it is a full-luminous dial, without radium.By itself, a Kriegsmarine marine clock is unlikely to be found, but such ones are especially rare. Watches with a full-luminous dial, according to a book by Konrad Knierim, were intended for submarine commanders.In World War II, less than 5% of German submarines survived, a few were disabled and captured with a crew. The watches were very lucky - they survived on a submarine, the owners treated them carefully, and even with the craftsmen they were lucky, they left practically no traces of repair. This is a rare case when such watches reach our days with their own dial, hands, and even glass. The only thing is the double-headed eagle removed from the back cover, for which in Soviet times they could have been put in jail. Otherwise, the watch is fully consistent with the catalogs and one of the most presentable items that could be found.A unique gift for a connoisseur of the naval theme, a real rarity. The item is completely original and corresponds to the catalog to the smallest detail. Cupronickel case with two lids. Covers with numbers, dense, slam shut clearly. M and number stamped on the outside. Diameter without head 57 mm, ring height 79 mm. The condition is very good, close to perfect.A dial with a thick cumulative luminous mass without radiation, a solid glow with contrasting black numbers. Signed KM Cortebert. Original blue steel hands. Glass shockproof from thick plastic. Near perfect condition, very rare.Anchor mechanism, caliber Cortebert 554 with 18 jewels, boards and bridges in thick gilding. Bimetal split balance with temperature compensation and adjusting screws, with Breguet spiral. The condition is technically perfect, the course is clear and precise.The mechanics are in perfect order, the watch has been preventively serviced, lubricated, tested, runs with good accuracy, can be carried in your pocket.
