I don’t really seriously hunt for these, but I don’t remember ever seeing one (I mean a first owner one, not one from a collector) from anywhere other than Germany. Maybe they were domestic sales only.
They were made in 3 different versions, union one is the rarest of them so you don’t see them often at all

Anyone a clue about the brand of this bezel? It looks a bit like Blancpain? Interesting combo: triangle and only 15 30 45 marks.
Wow, that Bulova's amazing, congrats! And your new arrival is very cute @connieseamaster Many other nice watches here. Wait a minute..... are Omega Seamasters "obscure" divers?
This one arrived yesterday and sits nicely on the wrist with a diameter of around 37 mm. Haven’t seen a lot of them. Based on the original watch box which was included the company Nemos was based in Les Breuleux, Switzerland...
Here's one I came across online recently.... either a rather hilarious franken or an extremely rare piece A world time Bulova Oceanographer:
