Up for auction is a rare and historically significant Wagner military-style wristwatch from the World War II era, produced in Germany. This vintage timepiece is a beautiful example of early 20th-century Art Deco design, combining military utility with elegant styling. With its curved, rectangular case, stylized numerals, and symmetrical layout with a small seconds subdial, this watch embodies the aesthetics of the late 1930s and early 1940s.
