Classic mid-century German pocket watch featuring a clean Arabic numeral dial with subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock. The numerals and hands fluoresce under UV light, indicating original luminous compound typical of 1940s–1950s production.
The movement is stamped “Made in Germany” and appears to be a simple 3/4-plate manual wind calibre (likely pin-lever or basic lever escapement). Unbranded export pieces like this were widely produced in post-war Germany for civilian and export markets.
The case is silver-tone base metal with engine-turned back and traditional onion crown. Dial marked “Made in Germany” at 6 o’clock. Classic utilitarian design with subtle military influence.
A solid entry-level vintage pocket watch ideal for collectors, stylists, or as a decorative timepiece.
Condition:
• Luminous material reacts under UV (likely radium-era lume; handle appropriately)
• Movement appears clean; service history unknown
• Light age wear to dial and case consistent with age
