This is yet another end-of-an-era type watch - one that was destined for military use, but modified for the new era of peace. This Nisus has a typical military face with classic military type Arabic numerals, second markers and Obelisk hands. There is a sub-second hand at 6 o'clock. As such it is a typical Wehrmacht type face but not black The war was over! Watches from the mid-to-late 1940s are rising in price and as good, if not better, an investment as those from the '60s and '70s. This example is very well made with a general condition that belies its 70 years of age. However I recommend that you examine the High Definition photos very carefully as they form the major part of this super watch's description. But I must mention the wonderful condition of the just serviced movement. It gleams. Please note that it is not signed which is typical of military watches of that era.
