Lancet Oversize
Lancet was a Swiss watch brand that was in existence from 1925 to 1960. During World War II, like many other Swiss watch brands, Lancet produced watches for military use. Lancet's military watches were primarily designed for the German armed forces, as Switzerland remained neutral during the war and did not supply watches to the Allied powers. The watches produced by Lancet for the German military were typically robust and reliable timepieces with simple, easy-to-read dials and sturdy cases. One of the most notable Lancet watches from this period was the "Luftwaffe Pilots Watch." This watch was designed specifically for use by German pilots and featured a large, easy-to-read dial with luminous hands and markers for improved visibility in low-light conditions. The watch also had a high-quality movement that was highly accurate and reliable, making it an essential tool for pilots navigating the skies over Europe during the war. While Lancet's military watches were primarily produced for the German armed forces, it's worth noting that many other Swiss watch brands also produced watches for both the Axis and Allied powers during World War II. These watches played an important role in the war effort, serving as essential tools for soldiers, pilots, and other military personnel.
