RARE 1910's WWI OMEGA Patria SWISS Trench Watch 15Jewel RARE 1910's WWI OMEGA SWISS Trench 15Jewels Watch with Pierced Shield 100% AUTHENTIC Watch is in EXCELLENT PRE-OWNED CONDITION (Was collector's item - pease refer to the pictures) The Trench watch (wristlet) was a type of watch that came into use by the military during World War I, as pocket watches were not practical in combat. It was a transitional design between pocket watches and wrist watches, incorporating features of both. The very first watch that somebody adapted to wear on a wrist is unknown. The first series of purpose-made wrist watches was produced by Girard-Perregaux in 1880 for German Navy. During the World War I numerous companies, including Omega, Longines, and others produced wrist watches for the military. These watches were of virtually identical style with an enamel dial, wide white numerals, and a luminescent hour hand. Often they did not bear the name of the manufacturer, though the movement, originally designed in the 1890-s for ladies’ pendant watches, was marked "Swiss". From pocket watches those trench watches inherited hinged front and back covers. The lugs for a strap looked like a thick wire attachment to the classical round shape of pocket watches rather than an integrated part of the body of the later and modern wrist watches. The name "wristlet" was used until early 1930-s and was eventually replaced by the modern name "wrist watch". Patria was a brand used by the makers that later became Omega Watch Co.
