Original German WWII Private Purchase Wrist Watch Marked Boden Edelstahl with Original Brown Leather Band - Functional

Original Item. Only One Available. This is a heavily worn German private purchase wrist watch from the WWII era which is fitted with an original period brown leather band used by the Wehrmacht during WWII. All parts of the watch are 100% original.

There is no warranty for this watch and returns for a non-working watch will not be honored. Please note all watches are wound and tested then recorded on video before shipment. We are not in the watch repair business- ALL SALES ARE FINAL.

This example has a metal chrome case with a stainless steel screw-back. Reverse of the screw-back is impressed with:

Boden
Edelstahl

This is not a maker’s mark, and only denotes that the case/back is stainless steel. There are no maker’s marks we could find although we did not remove the watch from the band so we could not check the inside of the case.

We were able to wind the watch, and listening shows that it is currently functional inside, but there is no seconds hand, only minute & hour hands. The face of the watch shows heavy wear to the black paint but all numbers are still visible. The radium on the ticks is still somewhat luminous, being faintly visible in the dark. The luminosity of the hands however is gone.

The leather band shows heavy wear with two keepers on the buckle side. The two straps which keep the watch on the leather pad show heavy wear with one having some minor tearing. 

A very interesting private purchase wrist watch with a great period leather band. Ready to display.
