Our meticulously designed WW1 trench replica pays homage to early 20th century horology, which was a transitional period from the pocket watch to wristwatch. The 'Service Watch' was born during the Great War when officers needed a watch that they could read quickly while still maintaining their tactical awareness. This replica is a must-have for vintage and military watch enthusiasts alike. It captures the essence of this time period with perfect attention to detail. This timepiece's centerpiece is an authentic shrapnel shield, a steel grill that was designed to protect the dial in the harsh environment of trench warfare. The combination of this iconic feature and the wire lugs reflects an innovative spirit from the time when leather straps first were soldered to the watch case. The brushed stainless steel finish gives the watch a vintage look while maintaining its durability. This dial features a period-accurate style with bold Arabic numerals, cathedral-style hands and a luminescent vintage tone material to improve legibility at night. Under the dome-shaped mineral crystal is a precision movement which bridges traditional aesthetics with modern reliability. The watch comes with an authentic leather Bund wide-cuff strap that was originally created to provide protection from extreme temperatures and a snug fit for active duty. This WW1 trench replica is a stylish and rugged piece of history that will enhance any horological collection. The timepiece does not only track minutes, it's a piece of wearable history. It honors craftsmanship from a past era and meets the high quality standards of the modern man.
