Upon request: a little excursion into IWC Ocean 2000 "Bund"
IWC made a special version of the Ocean 2000 on commission of the German Bundeswehr, the Navy to be precise. 1) Wristwatch for combat swimmers, ref. 3314 and 3319: Quartz movement; "3H" sign, 3H Standing for an isotope of hydrogen indicating the use of tr...
HTSE - More information than I could have hoped for - Fantastic ! Thank you so much. Did the 3529 also have the modified ETA 2892 movement or just the 3519 ? If not then was the

Little detail: I am impressed by the fact that they all indicate the same time and day, a nice touch! Interesting story for each of them. When they made batches of 50, was it really for action men? Were they really used by the German Army? Best, É.
Thanks for your feedback! On the AMAG, they did not „make batches of 50“, they actually....
...made just one batch of 50 of these. A little more of the others. And: yes, they were worn by the German Navy Seals. Cheers, HSTE
