Low profile acrylic crystals are available. They are best suited to watches like yours, with the subsidiary seconds hand. Not so good for watches with a centre sweep seconds hand. Most repair people will be able to supply them, even if they have to order them.
Thanks a lot, Canuck! Could Sternkreuz manufacture them? Anyway, I’ll ask the watchmaker.

Sternkreuz makes them. Watchmakers often don’t stock them because it could double their inventory, and most watches have sweep seconds hands.

I also noticed your valuable input here!

Check out the snowfall in Ontario, Canada! You’ll have a different appreciation for the “inconvenience” of the small amount of snow you have to deal with.



I'm a few hundred miles north of my Texas friend, and we received 99.99 freezing rain/sleet and just a dusting of light snow deep into the first night.

I can move around on snow and drive fine, too ......cannot do the same on what is essentially a citywide hockey rink.

Still, a mere bump in the road for a day or two in comparison if we are talking multiple feet of snow and more on the way.....y'all hang in there.

One of the three watches my late father has left behind.

I shall wear it with extreme pride and honour.

Photos don't do this Gilt dial justice! Along with the gold Breguet applied numerals and arrow hour markers this black gilt dial shows much better in person. The cal. 354 serial number dates this to ~ 1951.

Similar in silver but with small seconds. Circa 49-50. They don’t make them like that anymore!
