    The German Soldier is a good 48mm and due to the narrow bezel looks bigger than the Other early large size watches

    The original Lange & Sohne was actually a ridiculous 65mm
    what is the reason for the backwards numerals?

    Looks like it might have the same movement as this.

    The alarm is pretty loud

    There are a couple of suggestions in the mag
    They were used by Waffen SS observers during the V2 programme and might have been used in conjunction with mirrored sextants or made so they could be read easily in photographic negatives.
    I'll investigate a bit more and see if I can get something more definitive.
