This is a lovely example of a WWII production ships clock for the German Navy and the dial marked with the standard Reichsadler Eagle over M, for "Marine", the standard proof mark for all Kriegsmarine items. These were seen on both regular Naval Vessels as well as the U-Boats lurking beneath the water’s surface. Keeping time was a vital tool for Naval operations as they were not only used for timekeeping but various other types of operations and unit measurements.
The clock itself is in a non-magnetic brass housing that is painted "nuclear age" green on the sides and brown on the back, though this is most likely not the original color. There were various different housing designs for these clocks used during the war, starting with brass, then bakelite, and eventually tin plated steel, as supplies of brass became short. It has the eight pointed star logo of JUNGHANS on the dial under the winding hole, a known maker of chronometric equipment for the German war machine. The dial is numbered 1 to 12, along with 24 hour numbers, and minute graduations marked at the very edge. There is a secondary dial for seconds above the main hands, just below the speed control. The dial is plated brass, and does show wear from cleaning over the years, which has marred the plating and numbers a bit.
The clock itself is fully functional, with all hands moving, though it most likely would require a servicing to keep accurate time. The face is protected by a glass hinged door which is pulled open by a small tab on the left side of the clock. The dial measures 6 3/4” in diameter, while the housing is approximately 8 inches in diameter with a height of 3 1/2". All mounting “ears” are present if you should wish to mount the clock.
A lovely example that comes more than ready for further research and display.
