The beautiful three-part brass housing has a diameter of 48 mm, an overall height of 17,50 mm. The impact measure for the yellow leather volume (of deer) measures 18 mm. The housing one sees that well comes from a THIS YEAR watch taschenuhr-Chronographen, which was converted into a wrist-watch. One sees also in the pictures from the magazine. Besides the military staff departments in the course of the 1 required. World war ever more frequently after bracelet armband-Chronographen. The junior Charles A.
