    Dear members,

    Does someone around knows actually which watch it was ?

    Looking forward to reading your answers :) - Fred

    I would have guessed Elgin or Waltham but to be honest never given it a thought until now.

    Thanks for asking :thumbsup: Never seen it discussed on the military forums.

    Neither do I...

    German B-Uhr hacked, A-11 watches does as well indeed.

    But which was the first... and was it a military requirement only ?!?

    Something to sort out for sure ;)

    I think there were hacking watches back in WWI or at least not long after.
