United States. A Rare Grana Watch Company “Dirty Dozen” Military Issue Wrist Watch

(Grana Watch Company) A rare Grana military issue wartime wrist watch, constructed of a silvered brass case measuring 34 mm in diameter, with a black dial and arabic numerals arranged from one to twelve in a clock-wise fashion with a touble minute track along the outside perimeter. This watch has broad minute and hour hands with a sharp tip, filled with luminous material that has completely disappeared out of the hour hand. In lieu of a traditional second hand, this watch features a sundial at the six o’clock position. The reverse is etched “D233839H” (replacement caseback). It features 20 mm wide lugs with an aftermarket two-piece black leather strap attached. The watch ticks, with a non-hacking movement, and as a vintage timepiece, the health of the movement as not been assessed.
