    Apart from the fact that the watch would have been a vintage piece at the time U 142 operated, it's hard to imagine what the award could have been for, since the U 142 was a training boat for most of its career. It had exactly three wartime patrols for 42 days at sea during which it sank nothing at all. Perhaps punctuality? Cleanliness?
