  • This video shows most of my current WWII DH German Wehrmacht military issued watches. The DH / D.H. marking is generally interpreted as ‘Dienstuhr Heer’ (army service watch), these were (mostly) issued to the land forces of the Wehrmacht - which was the German Army in WWII.
    In this video you'll find the following brands: Arsa, Büren, Bulla, BWC, Civitas, Choisi, Cronos, Doxa (steel and chrome), Etanche (many different numbers), Eloga, Edo, Grana, Gala (very low issue numbers!), Glycine, Hado, Helma, Helbros, Helios, Helvetia, Longines, Leonidas, Mimo, Minerva, Moeris, Nisus, Page, Para Bruchsicher 782 S, Phenix, Record Watch Co Genf, Recta, Revue-Sport, Silvana, Stowa, Trilona, Wittnauer, Zenith (both steel and chrome 1518). I have quite a few more that are still with my watchmaker, others I forgot to include, and others I misplaced.
    For any questions feel free to comment or reach out to me on Instagram. I've got several other WWII Military watch video's on this channel, be sure to check out my WWII playlist.

    Just fantastic videos for prospective collectors !!
    I’d love to hear your thoughts on the Straps found on the DH Watches and Especially the KM PIECES !! German Navy Service had to have been particularly harsh on Straps, the wet and damp conditions aboard
    A Sub especially. I wonder if they Used Canvas or something like that !!!

    I recently purchased a Revue Sport in good condition, the lume and numerals look faintly green (not luminescent just the color) however they look as old as the watch. I've looked up other pictures and only seem to find brown/golden numerals and hands. Are this lume and hands and simply aged a bit better or is it impossible for them to look rather greenish than brown after all these years? Would love to hear your knowledge on this as you have a sizeable collection and handled quite a few different ones. All the best Ben

      You mean of the military, or the non-military? Tbh I mostly wear watches that I’m going to sell, because I know I won’t be able to wear them anymore once sold

    You showed 3 Minerva watches (16:40). What are the movements in those watches? Did Minerva make watches for both sides in the war?

    Hello, I have a watch passed down by my grandfather who took it from a captured German soldier in either the battle of the bulge or the Ruhr pocket. He was an American rifleman in the 99th Infantry division. The watch is near identical to the Stowa but with different hands and marked as the brand Wagner. There is no DH marking. Do you know anything about these watches?

    • @kabawatch
      @kabawatch  2 роки тому +2

      Whoa, what an awesome piece of history with that back story! Wagner is a German brand, and they usually didn’t put any DH markings on their watches (those markings are mostly for Swiss made watches). Wagner made watches for the Wehrmacht (land forces), Luftwaffe (air force), and Kriegsmarine (war navy)

      watches since 1943 often do not have DH marking anymore

    • @Totenschaedel98
      @Totenschaedel98 5 місяців тому

      ​@kabawatch German land forces (army) is Deutsches Heer hence DH marking. Heer, Luftwaffe, and Kriegsmarine are components of the nazi era Wehrmacht (defense force literally or simply military)

    Do you know if ATP watches ever had a black dial? I've seen a Timor with a black dial in an ATP case. Possibly rehoused though.
