It is rare to find a World War I trench watch that still has the radium painted dial. If you send a wristwatch with radium painted numerals for repair and refurbishing to a watch manufacturer like Omega, the company is obligated to remove the radium before sending it back. Many of these trench watches that have been refurbished are radium free.
*The first tests of radium for luminous watch dials and hands date back to 1911

o New military style leather in black


Condition:
A true treasure with more than 100 years, in the beginnings of wristwatches in the military era of the first world war working well with the dial in excellent condition, unfortunately the bezel is missing but it is still a target piece of collection without a doubt because of the rarity these days.
