Siegerin Kriegsmarine (German Navy) WW2 Pattern Watch with 21 Jewel Automatic Mechanical Movement

SKU Code: SIEG01

This automatic self-winding classic WW2 pattern Siegerin* military watch, featuring a small subsidiary dial second hand, is based on the typical designs used by the German Kriegsmarine (German Navy) during World War II. One feature common to all watches made for this branch of the German forces is the initials "K.M" on the dial, which stands for Kriegsmarine. These watches also had light-colored dials in either cream or white, as opposed to the black dials used for other versions of the German forces.

This watch is closely based on one of Siegerin's WW2 designs. Although the original watches are now quite rare and tend to fetch high prices, this watch is outwardly almost indistinguishable from the factory's WW2 models and retains the acrylic crystal used on the original watches. Additionally, the original 15-jewel hand-winding mechanical movement has been upgraded to a 21-jewel self-winding automatic movement, which can also be manually wound if required. The watch offers the benefit of retaining the original outward appearance while incorporating a few discreet updates to improve its suitability for day-to-day use.

In WW2, Siegerin along with Selza were two of the leading manufacturers for the Kriegsmarine (German Navy). They also produced watches for the Luftwaffe, Fallschirmjäger (paratroopers), and Flak (anti-aircraft) corps. Most of the German military watches at the time were fairly similar and shared much the same case size. While the British have the "Dirty Dozen," collecting the German equivalents can be quite challenging due to the sheer number of suppliers at the time, which comprised over 100 different manufacturers!

A group of military watch enthusiasts have compiled a list of the manufacturers, which appears on their website at this link: https://military-watches.net/ww2-german-watches. The list seems to be almost complete; no doubt they would appreciate it if anyone could fill in the few remaining gaps.

This particular watch has a solid stainless steel case made from military-grade 316L stainless steel, a subsidiary dial second hand, hacking function, cream dial, and luminous markings. For comparison, the final image shows one of the original wartime watches so that you can see just how successfully the manufacturer has managed to create a watch that is extremely similar to the watches they made in the Second World War.
