Ww2 Japanese Issued Imperial Army Watch, By Seikosha, Dating Circa 1942

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Oliver Sargent Antiques

For sale a very rare WW2 Japanese issued Imperial Army watch by Seikosha, circa 1942. WW2 Japanese military issue watches are seldom encountered. This one on offer is double cased, and in good working order keeping time. Fully signed throughout, and unrestored. It is very rare to find these watches in good working order because of the low-grade movements used by Seikosha.. I have always taken the view that these low-grade watches were given out because the service personnel were not expected to return alive, this being part of the Japanese culture. Price £995.00 inclusive of shipping to within the UK. Examples can be seen on page 779, British Military Timepieces by Konrad Knirim.
