ABOUT THE BRAND:

Perhaps as many as 100 or more Swiss watch companies supplied Germany during the war, Helios is probably most known during WWII as the main supplier to German soldiers as they were under contract to the German government.

Although similar, German issued miliary watches had only black dials, the backs were stamped DH, and they had a 15 jewel movement, but they were selected based on their reputation for durability and accuracy, and were generally issued to all branches of the military.
