Story
In the years immediately following World War II, the world was captivated by the reliability of military-grade equipment, leading to a massive trend in 'civilian' field watches.
Maker / Origin
Emka Watch Co. was founded in the early 20th century by the Meyer family in Bienne, the legendary heart of Swiss watchmaking.
Condition & Value
The acrylic crystal is heavily scratched and would benefit from a professional polish or replacement to reveal the dial. The case shows honest wear consistent with daily use over 70 years, and the luminous material appears original.
