Review: Very nice, from first impressions. - Purchased as I wanted a watch that wouldn't look out of place with a second world war military costume and couldn't afford a genuine vintage watch. This one seems to be based on the design of a WWII-era German pilots' watch; there is a similar model in a brown / cream finish from the same manufacturer sold as "ME-109 pilot watch". The quality seems quite good but it's too soon to comment on its accuracy, battery life or long-term robustness. The strap is substantial, thick, real leather (with a real leather smell); the case and buckle have a sort of "aged" steel look. The "glass" is thick and has a slight magnifying effect. The face design is unusual with the numbers for minutes around the outside and those for the hours nearer the centre. Luminosity of the hands and hour markers isn't great - I wouldn't recommend this if you really need a watch you can read in the dark. The watch is supplied in a simple but neat gift box with an appropriately old-fashioned string closure. There are no instructions; simply set the time with the crown then remove the small plastic clip to allow the crown to close and engage the battery. Alignment of the stepped motion of the second hand with markers on the face isn't perfect - fairly typical of many quartz watches in my experience. I believe the watch is supposed to fit 18.5cm to 23cm wrists. On the last hole it was still slightly loose for my skinny (~17cm) wrist so I added (drilled) one more hole - this works fine; a second extra hole might be even possible for those that need it (the keeper can slide to the end of the free end of the strap). The case diameter is about 42mm and it's about 50mm across the outside of the strap fittings/lugs. Thickness from the case back to the front of the "glass" is about 13mm. This is an interesting, simple and fairly elegant watch that I'm sure I'll be using more than just as an accessory to a WWII costume. Review: Trusted time-keeping companion - I've had this watch for a few months now. It's quite a unique-looking piece and I've enjoyed owning it. In my opinion, when it comes to watches it should remain simple and practical. I'm not a fan of watches that have all kinds of dials and gauges on the face as most of these are either for show or don't offer any real use to the average person. This watch is very much a "what you see is what you get" deal. The face is large and stands out nicely, the glass is clear and elevated roughly half a centimetre with smooth, slanted edges giving the illusion of magnification at times. The metal has a kind of dull steel appearance as though the watch is perhaps older than it actually is. I personally like that touch. I've given the watch four stars instead of five for a few small reasons. Firstly, I had to make a hole for the strap with a thick needle as it was too loose on my wrist. Secondly, the metal back of the time piece causes a not uncommon reaction which turns my skin pale green if I wear the watch for prolonged periods. Thirdly, the metal itself does seem to be slowly losing its colour nd darkening. Other than the above minor issues, it's a lovely watch. People have complimented it on several occasions and I feel it's a simple yet reliable piece that looks great whatever you wear. ## Features - Pilot style highly accurate watch with vintage look - Fluorescent clock hands on black clock face.

IS IT NON QUARTS OR IS A QUARTS MOVEMENT ???????** A: Hi there. Yes, this is a Quartz movement watch. Fantastic quality, German engineered. We've been a seller of these for over a year and the response from our customers is nearly always positive. Great looking timepieces, with a Quartz movement. **Q: my order just arrived but it doesn't work ...does it work on battery ??? can anybody tell me how to start up my watches ?(** A: In my case, the battery was already fully charged. When I first recieved it, (almost a year ago )I simply pushed the thing that is protuded on the side of the watch.Then it started to work. I don't wear it anymore, but the battery still runs even today **Q: What is the width of the watch band? The description says 2mm, but I assume that's a typo. 20? 21? 22? Going to replace with a brown horween...** A: Hi DanGood point, that is indeed a typo! It is indeed 2cm/ 20mm wide.RegardsEpic Militaria **Q: What is the weight out of the box?** A: Hello DAVID, This vintage mens watch is a typical decent watch weight of 78 grams / 2.75 oz. So is not too light, not too heavy watch. This Retro Watch is a popular, accessible collector’s wristwatch for anyone who wants to make a statement with the watch they wear, but who wants to choose a timepiece that is very different from the β€˜classic’ and very mainstream watches by the major brands.
