After World War II, several manufacturers built deck watches from the remaining stock of the Unitas 2813 calibre by Stowa that had been produced for the German Navy during the war. The stop seconds mechanism is a particular feature here: When the crown is pulled, the seconds hand stops at 0. The fabulous regulator dial by Sinn features exquisitely engine-turned sub dials and reminds us of the golden era of the Riefler precision pendulum clocks.
