A faithful replica of a German military (Kriegsmarine) service watch manufactured by the renowned Ailager® brand, based on the KM Festa 720 model produced by Alpina during the war. Each watch features a brown, 25-centimeter, grained PU leather wrist strap, finished with a traditional silver metal buckle on one side. The watch face is housed in a silver stainless steel case. The dial back is embossed with "Wasserdicht Stahlboden," meaning "waterproof steel base," and the number 139085. The bright dial is framed around the edge with large, easy-to-read numerals. The main hour and minute hands are luminous, making them easy to read in low light conditions. Beneath the main hands is a smaller dial with a single hand, measuring time in seconds. The watch is battery-powered. The watch is packaged in an elegant, flat blue Ailager® gift box.

FOR REENACTMENT?
Service watches were widely produced for the German Army by both Swiss and German watchmakers. They were used throughout World War II. Often, the watches were custom-made and had the soldier's service number stamped on the back. These watches were intended to be returned upon completion of military service.
