This stunning watch has a beautiful black dial, luminous Arabic numbers and markers, with manual wind movement. Please take time to look at all 12 photos to fully appreciate this stunning timepiece.Provenance - By descent to present owner, from a World War II pilot. This watch until recently had remained completely untouched for over 70 years. Its now just undergone a complete service, and is keeping extremely good time (six seconds a day) not bad for a 76 year old watch, and will come complete with this recent service invoice !! The watch number which is engraved on the inside of the rear cover and is numbered 5114. This matching number is also engraved on the movement. The dial is a type A produced between 1939-1941 and is in wonderful condition as are the original blue steel hands. This watch has just had a replacement plexiglass fitted, so could be used as a daily wearable watch.It has a lovely clean Unitas calibre 2812 movement, finished in nickel plate with 'Geneva stripes'. A fine 'swan neck' regulation. The movement is in extremely good clean condition and is running very well. This watch winds smoothly and the 'stop second' function is working correctly enabling synchronisation with other timepieces. The watch comes complete with four different interchangeable straps depending on your mood. The original straps were bulky and very long resulting in there being lots of spare strap left flopping around when on the wrist, due to the fact that they were made to fit over a leather padded flying jacket and gloves.These genuine original type A Stowa B-uhr watches don't come onto the market very often. A fabulous opportunity for a collector to acquire a superb example of a watch which will only ever increase in value. Just a really wonderful piece of German WWII military history.
