Why is the A. Lange & Söhne B-Uhr legendary?

The "Beobachtungsuhr" (Observation Watch), or B-Uhr, is a piece of pure military history. Commissioned during World War II, these massive timepieces were essential navigation instruments for the German military, including the Kriegsmarine (Navy) and U-Boat crews. This specific A. Lange & Söhne model represents the absolute pinnacle of functional precision, designed to be legible in the dark and accurate enough to calculate longitude at sea.

Collector Notes & Dating

Produced around 1945, in the final stages of the war, this timepiece is a survivor. It features the robust Caliber 48, a movement renowned for its high quality despite the material shortages of the era. For a collector, owning a "Kriegsmarine" issued Lange is not just about owning a watch; it is about holding a documented artifact of 20th-century history.
