Rarest, 100% Lange&Söhne large pilot's wristwatch model b with center seconds, a.Lange & Söhne Glashütte i. Sa., No. 214931 (3 times identically signed on back and in movement!)

Delivered in the very, very rare original packaging, as the magnificent piece of military watch history was delivered to the Reichsluftwaffe on March 14, 1943

Attention: this is one of the highly sought-after and ultra-rare Lange & Söhne b watches - see the signature on the cover!

Over 95% of all Lange b watches were not (assembled) by Lange&Söhne itself in Glashütte, but the ordered number of required original Lange&Söhne individual parts were sent to one of the 9 "assembly partners" known to this day, some as far away as Vienna, for final production and assembly

The orders were received by Lange&Söhne in many small tranches and were processed according to urgency, i.e. the 9 "assembly partners" were asked who could complete and deliver the ordered contingent promptly

The deputy director of the watch museum in Glashütte, Mr. Jürgen Franke, announces:


Thank you for your inquiry to the German Watch Museum Glashütte, and congratulations on your acquisition of the pilot's wristwatch!

It can be seen that the watch belongs to a series of 160 pieces. This series was completely finished by Lange in Glashütte. The watches known to us from this series all have no swan-neck fine regulation. We can find no specific reference to this detail in either the movement book or the sales book

Unfortunately, I do not have a concrete answer to your question. We do not know why and how many watches were made in this version by Lange & Söhne.



the Lange&Söhne b-watch in this offer was 100% manufactured by Lange in Glashütte, where it was produced and also assembled in parts!

It is therefore a rare and sought-after example of a genuine 100% Lange&Söhne b watch

Well-known partner and "assembly companies" for Lange&Söhne b watches up to 1945:

Wempe; Hamburg
Company Näher & Schätzle; Pforzheim
Conrad Felsing; Berlin
Fischer & Trabant; Pforzheim
Company Deiter; Essen
Fa. l.g. ; Vienna

Description:

Manufacturer a. Lange & Söhne, 127-560A-1, black dial with small, central hour scale with luminous Arabic numerals, large luminous Arabic minute track, luminous hands, luminous central second hand

Gold-plated lever movement, cal. 48.1 with large compensation balance, steel lever and escape wheel, blued Breguet balance spring

This magnificent piece of (military) watch history is now in production and delivery condition! The "absence" of the s fine regulation is not a defect!

Year of manufacture around 1942, this magnificent piece of (military) watch history runs on and through (accuracy not tested)

Unfortunately, the stop-seconds function typical for b watches of the Reichsluftwaffe is missing; according to the Glashütte watch museum and archive excerpt, it was once present, but now the crucial part for it is missing

You may be annoyed about it now, but if you manage to find this part as a spare part or have it made by a watchmaker, you're getting a great bargain!

Original Lange&Söhne b watches - and by that I mean the "ordinary" externally mounted ones - are traded for at least five figures

The absence of the stop-seconds function is already included in our basis for negotiation; you will not find a functioning original Lange&Söhne b watch from the above-mentioned small series for this price anywhere on the net

Currently installed is a used genuine leather strap without the rivets of the original for easy wearing on the wrist. We are therefore offering a new facsimile long-strap bracelet free of charge

ez: 2 - 3 - normal signs of age and use, no damage or deep scratches, runs on and through
