yes cool
a watch "moment de silence", use of war on the radio on the boats, I believe that the 5 minutes were reserved for SOS
The coloured segments each span 3 minutes and show the period during which radio silence is observed to listen for distress calls on the international distress frequencies.
The red segments indicate the listening periods for distress calls made with CW (morse code) and the green segments indicate listening periods for voice calls, usually on frequency 2182 kHz although other frequencies are also used.
So cool!
Thanks for teaching me something new! I love that dial, and the case with the crown guards is a nice touch. Any info on the case diameter?
its a modern piece

I have seen this dial on clocks but not a watch, wow!
And they got "00" instead of "24" right too...A winner! -- Richard.
