WW2 German Wehrmacht Dienstuhr – PERSONAL SERVICE WATCH – HELIOS – EXCELLENT!

You are bidding on a VERY RARE used example of a WW2 German Wehrmacht Issue Helios Service Wrist Watch!Produced for the German military, all issued wristwatches were required to follow a specific standard, this being: case made of achromium plated brass; a manual winding movement; water resistant; dust/moisture proof; and are a total of 15 jewels.A secondary hand is to be located at the 6 o'clock position indicating seconds, and both main hands are to be luminous.Made of a chrome-plated brass case, this Swiss-made Helios watch is in EXCELLENT functioning condition! Identical to the type featured on page 432 of Dr. Konrad Knirim's, 'Military Timepieces' book, there is somelight scratching on the crystal, however, the dial and hands are near MINT, with NO damage or corrosion!The manufacture name is clearly marked on the face, and was manufactured between 1939 and 1945.Being in used condition, the case doesshow some signs of wear (scratches, marks, patina), but it is in otherwise EXCELLENT condition for its age. Thereverse is stamped with 'D 42898 H' (DH = Dienstuhr Heer Service Watch).The strap is a replacement, probably from the 1950s.For reference, the other codes produced were:DH:Dienstuhr HeerD:Dienstuhr LuftwaffeDRGM:Deutsches Reich GebrauchsmusterRLM:ReichsluftfahrtministeriumKM:KriegsmarineDU:Dienstuhr (Verwaltung)Note that the movement has not been serviced in 30 years, so even though it is currently running, I would suggest getting it cleaned for daily use/wear. A VERY nice and original item for any collection, or display!
