Heuer ref 1551 sternzeit reguliert
I came across today something I believe very rare. Even our dear HSTE may not have it or seen it before. He will tell us.
Here is the box / complementary tool / Instructions for use of the Bundeswehr sternzeit reguliert, for the sidereal time, the system of timekeeping usef especially by astronomers, and in this case by navigators of the KriegMarine. Then my pictures report:
The instruction box
Heer means Army
Inside you find pencils, rules,
Navy memo inside
Wonderful patina, hands are matching the index
Rapporteur and sidereal map
And the drawing compass
Notice the compass is made of the same steel that the case of the watch. A very nice detail
Definitely, a rare item Best regards Franck
