VARIO 1918 WW1 Trench Watch | Watch Review | Vintage inspired perfection from the Singapore microbrand.

When World War I began in 1914, soldiers faced a novel problem. In the chaos on and off the battlefield where precise timing was integral to routines, communications, and synchronizing attacks, reliable and accurate timepieces were vital. Many officers had pocket watches, but these had many shortcomings on the battlefield. They were cumbersome to pull out and to open the protective lid with gloved hands, requiring officers to pause their duties. The dials were impossible to read at night and the glass crystals broke easily. In a setting where a second could be the difference between life and death, it was clear that an alternative was needed. Thus, in the muddy trenches of the First World War, the wrist-watch was born.

Wow, did I hear correctly? Enamel dial?! Not too tall with this style and being an auto too, I have never seen that before. Very nice indeed, as much as I can say that, especially considering it really evokes that horrifically tragic age of doomed youth so well. Thank you for taking the time to share this, I will be deffo looking into this brand.
Best regards,
TGV

Firstly, a minutes silence and due respects to the men who bravely wore them as tools... Beautiful music... I waited like 40 years for watches like this. Originals being simply too old, fragile, damaged or patinaed to death. Can't wait to see that enamel dial, wonder if the numbers are fired into it ot added later. They got these hands perfect, IMO! This Swiss made with an ETA would be icing on cake. I also strongly recommend the Baltany 1926 Oyster tribute with a Seiko Quartz...I know its quartz, but it is a mirror image of the first Rolex Oyster - thermally blued breaget hands and finish are fantastic ...again waited 40 years for it too! Spending my Rolex money on these watches! 🤭
