This was a German manufactured watch so carried no DH or D contract numbers used for imported Swiss watches. German watch factories were always under the watchful eye of a quality manager from the Reichsministerium für Bewaffnung und Munition. However many members of the military chose to purchase their own watches. The Stabila "Unzerbrechlich" was popular with men serving in the Afrika Korps. As such there was a demand for dials that were not black as this caused problems with strong sunlight (heat). Contrary to something of a myth not all watches carried palm trees with entwined swastikas. This has been perpetuated due to the enormous number of repainted dials in watches that were "lost" in Eastern Europe during the Wehrmacht's retreat from Russia in January 1942! As always I urge you to examine the HD photos carefully as they form the majority of this rare WW2 German military watch's description. You should note in photos #7 the detached lug pin. Fixed lug pin watches were frequently modified later in their lives so that they could be fitted with the later type closed end bracelets. The Stabila will be carefully wrapped (see my Feedback and bid with confidence!) and shipped via Colissimo Insured & Signed For. E & O E © AntMat's Auto Matters & Watches 2018
