Wagner - Art Deco Military WW2 - No reserve price - Unisex - 1900-1949

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. Watches like this were often worn by German officers during the war, and original examples in working condition are increasingly hard to find. Key Features: • Brand: Wagner (Germany) • Era: Circa 1940s (WWII period) • Design: Art Deco tonneau case with stepped lugs • Movement: Manual winding – still runs very well and winds smoothly • Case material: Gold-plated base metal • Dial: Aged cream-tone dial with bold black Arabic numerals and sub-seconds at 6 o’clock • Hands: Original cathedral-style luminous hands – full and well preserved • Crystal: Acrylic – period correct • Strap: Black leather strap (new replacement) • Size: Approx. 32 × 22 mm (excluding crown) – classic mid-20th century men’s size • Condition: Good vintage condition – signs of aging, but adds character; mechanically strong This watch is a rare survivor from one of the most important periods in history. The Wagner logo with the stylized “W” adds to its charm, and the Art Deco influence is especially visible in the case shape and dial layout. Ideal for collectors of WWII memorabilia, German military artifacts, or vintage Art Deco watches. It wears beautifully as a dress watch with character or as a unique historical piece. The watch will be carefully packaged and shipped with full tracking and insurance. Please see my other listings for more vintage rarities and historical watches.
