Introducing the A. Lange & Söhne B-Uhr FL 23883 military observation watch: B-Uhr watches guided German bombers during the horrific campaigns of World War II, dropping bombs in the air with disastrous consequences. The B-Uhr remains an impressive timepiece. Each one featured a Breguet balance spring. Inside, the movement was encased in an iron core, making the B-Uhr antimagnetic – essential for aviation.
