Watch : Gents 1940s Roamer German Luftwaffe Military Wrist Watch

The watch has a signed Swiss 15-jewel hand-winding movement, a Roamer MST 364, which is working nicely. The watch measures 30.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs so although originally a man’s watch, it is on the smaller side. The case is chrome plated while the screw-on case back is stainless steel. There is wear and marking to the chrome plate, commensurate with the history and age of the watch. The case back is signed Roamer Watch Co to the inside, and it has the number D8857. As the code has the D prefix only, and not the H suffix, this means that the watch was issued to a Luftwaffe pilot or ground crew during the second World War. The lens is in good condition. The signed dial is in its original finish, luminous detail has been removed from the numbers and the hands at some point. There is light surface scratching to the dial although not really visible to the naked eye. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box.
