About the Item

LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT Wittnauer is an old, premier house founded around 1880. They are renowned for innovative designs in science and aviation. This piece, slightly oversized for its day is fitted with a rare original engine turned dial. The watch is all original including the original "W" crown. It keeps excellent time and being an automatic you will not need to wind it if you wear it every day. I have never seen another example of this model before.
