◄N.B. Photos of the watch are taken in natural light (daylight) with the exception of those taken in the workshop. I use a Leica macro lens so in enlarged photos you will see things that you would not normally see with the naked eye. Furthermore I do not use a photo enhancement software programme. You should note that I may not relist this watch on Catawiki if it does not sell. I will not lower the Reserve price if one has been set, so making a very large bid at the start may not result in my lowering the Reserve towards the end of the auction.► Auction type: Reserve Manufacturer: Alpina Circa: 1945 Diameter excluding crown: 32.81mms Lug tip to lug tip: 42.58mms Thickness: 11.07mms Inside lugs: 18.08mms Case shape: Round Case condition: Almost Collector's Quality - see HD photos Case metal: Steel Case colour: Silver Dial condition: Well above average for age with an honest patina - see HD photos Dial colour: Light café au lait - a natural patina Script on dial: K.M. - 592 Jewel count: 17 Adjustments: None Numerals/Markers: 12 to 5 and 7 to 11 Arabic military numerals with sub second dial at 6 o'clock Hands: "Leaf" Strap: New old stock 1950s calf leather; fits wrist to 20.20cms Script on movement: See HD photo Script on case &/or case back: See HD photos Script inside case &/or case back: N/A Movement type: Alpina in-house 17 jewel sub second movement with Incabloc, calibre #592. Google 'Alpina 592 ranfft' for more information Movement condition: Exceptional, showing no signs of wear at recent service Box &/or Papers:None History & Notes: An unusual and rare Alpina K.M. 592 in excellent condition considering its 73 plus years. This watch has seen very little use and I doubt that it ever went into "active service", so possibly used by a senior Kriegsmarine staff officer. It is a late 592 not having fixed lug pins. As always I urge you to examine the High Definition photos carefully as they form the major part of this very rare vintage watch's description. The Alpina will be well wrapped (see my Feedback and bid with confidence!) and shipped via Colissimo International Insured & Signed For. E & O E © AntMat's Auto Matters & Watches 2018
