Listing details

Up for sale is a rare and historically important Vintage CYMA WWI-era Trench Watch, featuring a factory-integrated metal shrapnel guard built directly into the case—a design almost never seen today. Unlike most wartime guards which were removable wire or clip-on covers, this integrated version suggests a special military commission or limited field-issue model, making it a true collector’s piece.The watch has been recently cleaned and professionally serviced and is running strong, keeping accurate time. It comes fitted with a brand new black leather strap, ready to wear or display.Key Features: • Manufacturer: CYMA (Swiss Made) • Movement: Manual wind, CYMA cal. 570 with 15 jewels • Case Size: 44mm (excluding crown) • Case Material: Nickel or silver-tone alloy (see photos) • Dial: High-contrast military-style dial with inner 24-hour scale and sub-seconds at 6 o’clock • Crystal: Domed acrylic • Strap:

Brand new black leather strap • Shrapnel Guard: Original integrated metal guard with cutouts for viewing numerals – fits securely in place but may pop up if bumped; still fine for daily wearCondition Notes: • Very good vintage condition with only light wear consistent with age • Fully functional and accurate, just serviced • The rare strap guard remains intact and functional—an unusual survivor of WWI military watches • Photos best describe the watch’s physical condition—please inspect closelyThis is a seldom-seen example of military horology, combining robust wartime engineering with an incredibly rare case design. A must-have for any serious collector of WWI artifacts or vintage timepieces.
