SKU Code: ABACH/DUHR2

This automatic self-winding Aeschbach military watch is a faithful recreation of the classic WWII designs used by the German Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe. While original wartime models are now rare and highly sought after, this modern version remains visually almost identical to the factory's WWII-era timepieces.

Staying true to its heritage, this watch retains the acrylic crystal used in the originals but upgrades the 15-jewel hand-wound mechanical movement to a 21-jewel self-winding automatic movement. It also includes a manual winding option, ensuring both historical accuracy and modern convenience. The result is a watch that maintains its authentic outward appearance while offering subtle improvements for enhanced practicality in everyday use.

Historical Background

During World War II, the Wehrmacht, Kriegsmarine, and Luftwaffe sourced their timepieces from numerous Swiss and German manufacturers, including Aeschbach, which was established in 1923 and still exists today. Due to the sheer number of wartime watch suppliers—more than 100—collecting German military watches can be complex.

A dedicated group of military watch enthusiasts has compiled a comprehensive list of these manufacturers, available online: WW2 German Watches. The list is nearly complete, but additional contributions are welcome to help fill in any remaining gaps.

The History of Aeschbach Watches

Aeschbach was a leading WWII watch manufacturer but suffered significant losses during the war. The company was based in Pforzheim, a key German watchmaking center, which was heavily bombed during an RAF air raid on February 23, 1945. This attack destroyed approximately 83% of the city, killed nearly 17,600 people, and obliterated the Aeschbach workshops, halting production indefinitely.

However, the Aeschbach legacy was revived when a family member discovered surviving technical drawings and a collection of original watches while sorting through an elderly relative’s belongings. This find paved the way for the relaunch of Aeschbach watches, ensuring that their historical craftsmanship and military heritage continue to live on today.

Perfect size, high quality
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Black (Metal Silvered)
I had a previous catch all tray that I bought on amazon, it used buttons on the 4 corners to turn a flat cardboard into a tray. Over time, the catch all tray got filled up, not just with a wallet, keys and eyeglasses but eventually business cards and other knick knacks. With all the items inside the tray, sometimes the buttons would start to pop out. It wasn't awful, more of an annoyance. But it was time for me to find a more durable tray. I looked on amazon and added 6 different trays that had "potential" into my shopping cart. Then I carefully evaluated each one and deleted them out of my cart until there was only one left. Some had multiple compartments. Some were larger than this one. I felt the ones with compartments would limit my ability to put the things I want in there. Also, I didn't want it so big that it took up too much desk space. Ultimately, I felt this was the perfect size. I'm extremely happy with it, the quality is really nice and it looks and feels durable. No more loose buttons and spilled knick knacks.

Keeps clutter away
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Black (Metal Silvered)
This works great to corral all my notes I write on post its or small notes. Keeping them hidden from the desk top b/c or the depth but still visible to me. Much better than keeping on the plotter. Looks great in quality .

Attractive, Simple, And Well-Made
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Orange (Metal Glided)
I use this as a "catchall". A place to stash things like my wallet and keys when I enter the door, so that I don't use them (I had been prone to that!). It serves it's purpose well. It's both sturdy and attractive, and a good size for a "catchall". Recommended for those like me who need such things.
