Rimla was a brand name registered by Gerhard Walter Busse in 1954.
The watch has a Swiss 17-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely.
The watch measures 31.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs.
The case is in lovely condition, as is the lens.
The dial is in its original finish, there is a little marking but not too detrimental at all. Original hands, a centre seconds hand and date display – this is an early form of quickset date where the hands are moved repeatedly backwards and forwards between 10pm and 1pm until the desired date is reached.
A later leather strap has been fitted.
The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
