For sale is a World War 2 Luftwaffe Laco B-Uhr Navigation watch. These watches were issued to Luftwaffe bomber crews for navigation purposes during World War 2.

The watch number, which is engraved on front and back of the rear cover, is No. H15306 and the matching number is on the movement.

The dial is 2nd pattern indicating production after June 1942.

The dial is in superb condition as are the original blued steel hands.

The hands still retain 100% of the original luminous radium paint which is quite unusual as more often than not the radium has partly dropped out or been replaced. 

The case is in excellent condition, as with most of these watches the original protective paint cover has worn away with time revealing the original case plating.

At some stage during it's 70+ years life an owner has lightly scratced their initials (GS) on the rear case. This is lightly done and does not detract from the overall superb condition of the watch. I have seen many WW2 German watches similarly engraved and this was often done by Servicemen returning home with their booty after the war.

Overall diameter is 55mm and 20.75mm thick.

The movement fitted is the original numbered Laco Durowe Cal.D5. The movement is in lovely condition and is running very well.

The watch winds smoothly and the 'stop seconds' function is working correctly ( to enable synchronisation with another timepiece).

Replacement brown leather correct pattern strap in excellent condition.

Overall a very nice watch in good original condition.

This is a great opportunity for a collector to acquire a superb example of a watch which is set to increase in value as more and more collectors become aware of these fine timepieces which are such a wonderful piece of military history.
