Manufactured in the early 1940s, this is an exceptionally rare Lange & Söhne watch, produced for the German Air Force during World War II. It features distinctive military elements, such as a 55mm oversized case with an onion crown and a highly visible black dial treated with luminous paint.
The watch is equipped with the Caliber 48 movement, which includes a second-hand regulation mechanism. It showcases the unique craftsmanship of the vintage Lange & Söhne company, with features like the 3/4 plate and beautiful grain-gilded finishing.
The watch has developed a charming patina over the years, with aged luminous markers, an onion crown that has acquired character through use, and a well-worn oversized case, all of which enhance its military appeal. Additionally, it comes with a leather strap designed to be worn over a jacket.
