This watch using caliber Unitas 6326, made somewhere in the 1970's. Also refer to my posting on Unitas.

"Wehrmachtswerk" translated as "Movement for Armed Forces ?"and known for its robustness. Direct translation of Wehrmacht is "the armed forces of Germany", used between 1921-1945. "Wehr" means defence and "macht" means might. The story goes back in 1930's when the German government made an international call for tender to equip the Wehrmacht and to be used by all 3 main sections : Heer, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine (Army, Air Force and Navy). The task was to develop the best possible movement, it must be robust, large diameter, could last for several years and low maintenance. They wanted a large diameter so that the balance and gears could be quite big and therefore more durable. The movement should hold the time precisely and dependably. A lot of tests was made and in 1932, the only caliber that was accepted was AS 1130 (the above watch comes with Unitas 6326)

It was still used back in the 1960's where it was part of marketing attraction created by watch manufacturers to sell their watches. It can be said as "military spec" to attract customers. For sale RM 370, call or SMS for best offer.

Below are calibers that are associated with AS 1130, all are manual wind 13".
