About the Item

Circa 1940-1944, Pforzheim, Germany, this vintage beauty offered by Ormo proudly displays retro simplicity through its round 34mm Boden Edelstahl stainless steel case made for the German Army and impressive dial. The easy to read toned dial has simple period style numerals, sword hands and one sub dial. The 20mm lugs are now fitted with a new soft padded black leather strap with contrasting stitching. A 15 jeweled manual wind Swiss movement keeps time. Intentionally left in its rare original condition other than fresh strap replacement. Great collector's piece. Gift wrapped for giving.
