This Zenith Dienstuhr was made in Switzerland, in 1942, especially for the German land forces.
This timepiece was made to be durable enough and to comply with any combat situations. Case was made out of stainless steel, with screw back and fixed lugs. It measures 35 mm in diameter. An inner dust-cover protects the high quality Zenith movement, which is shock-protected too. Dial and hands are completely original.

Last known service was in 2018. The watch sets, winds and keeps accurate time. No issues.
Watch comes with a vintage black perlon strap, what is accurate to the era and was very common amongst service watches back then.
We recommend this watch not only as a collector's item, but for every day wearing too. As time passes, it becomes harder and harder to find intact, original WWII military timepieces. Do not miss it!
Good watch, ready to go.
The serial number is stamped between the letters D and H.
This marking indicates Deutsches Heer issue.
Heer was the name of the Third Reich era German Army.
The better known Wehrmacht (Armed Forces) consisted of a (land) army (called Heer) and a navy (called
Kriegsmarine
). The Air force (Luftwaffe) was a separate branch of the military.
So the DH marked watches were issued to the land forces within the Wehrmacht.
