Heuer Bundeswehr '3H' Dial

From its nascence in 1955 until the 1990s, the Bundeswehr was credited as being one of the most well-organized and well-equipped armies of its time, though it did not participate in active combat. This watch was created to be a Bundeswehr pilot's companion, and it boasts quite an impressive build. One of the four variants of the Bundeswehr "3H" dial layout, this example is particularly well balanced and is in incredible condition. The "3H" indicates tritium, as hydrogen-3 is the chemical compound for that radioactive luminous material. The lume on the hands, tip of the chronograph hand, and Arabic numerals all match and have aged beautifully. This watch possesses both the flyback chronograph function as well as a hacking mechanism.
