WWII German Navy ZentRa KM Military Watch 1940s Swiss Lever 18mm Sector Dial

Rare WWII German Navy "Kriegsmarine" ZentRa KM - Military Service Watch. This is a genuine 1940s ZentRa KM (Kriegsmarine), a timepiece issued to the German Navy during World War II. Unlike many civilian models, this features the iconic "KM" designation on the dial, signifying its service history. A true piece of military history for serious collectors.

Movement: High-grade Swiss Lever Manual Wind (17 Jewels). Case Material: Authentic Chrome-plated Brass (The chrome has aged into a beautiful vintage patina, revealing the warm golden brass underneath). Dial: Classic "Sector Dial" with original Railway Track and Arabic Numerals. Bezel: Smooth, Fixed Bezel (Military spec).

Caseback: Screw-back (Stainless Steel) for water resistance. Strap: Vintage two-piece leather strap with a classic steel buckle. Max Wrist Size: Fits approximately 17.1 cm (6.7") on the current setting, potentially up to 18.5 cm (7.3") on the last hole. CONDITION REPORT - PLEASE READ? Mechanical: Runs briefly but stops.

After winding, the movement runs for approximately 15 seconds before coming to a rest. Even when fully wound, it does not maintain continuous operation. It likely requires a professional service (cleaning and oiling) to restore it to full working condition. No parts appear to be missing.

The transition from chrome to brass gives it a unique "Golden KM" look that collectors love. The sector dial remains legible with a great vintage vibe. This ZentRa KM is a survivor. Its brief 15-second heartbeat proves that it wants to run again!

Whether you are a WWII historian or a vintage watch enthusiast looking for a rewarding restoration project, this is a rare opportunity to own a Swiss-made piece of the Kriegsmarine legacy.
