Another sexy beast was the B-Uhr (short for Beobachtungsuhr), which was a navigation watch given to navigators and sometimes Stuka pilots.

the watch had a long strap to be worn over the jacket and was of generous size to be better seen in darkness (it's a staggering 55mm in diameter, using a pocket watch mechanism) and it wasn't actually assigned to personnel, but there were a number for each squadron that were assigned for the mission and given back at the end of the mission to be stored and synchronised with the base clock (which was also synchronise with Berlin).
