Paradox Military, Ref. 2038P, Men’s Manual Wind Vintage Watch, 1940s

Heat-blued feuille hands and a patinated cream dial distinguish this 1940s Paradox Military reference 2038P. The men's Swiss watch has a 35 mm chrome-plated case with straight lugs and a 41 mm overall span. Small seconds at 6 and a domed acrylic crystal retain its period field-watch appearance, with a modern olive-green NATO strap fitted.

Cream patina and blued feuille hands

The beige-cream dial has even patina with warm spotting. Black printed Arabic numerals and a restrained railroad minute track keep the scale clear. A recessed small-seconds register at 6 has crisp numerals.

Heat-blued feuille hour and minute hands stand out against the lighter dial. The blued small-seconds hand sits within the recessed register, preserving the separate seconds layout and its visual balance.

Chrome-plated case and modern NATO

The chrome-plated case remains well preserved with light age-related wear. Its slim profile and straight lugs give the 35 mm head a compact stance, with the 41 mm lug-to-lug measurement defining the overall length.

The domed acrylic crystal slightly magnifies the dial. The unsigned coin-edge crown at 3 is easy to grip and allows smooth hand winding.

A modern olive-green NATO strap completes the current configuration. Its contemporary attachment is distinct from the original dial, hands and case, continuing the field-watch style.

Hand winding and 1940s design

The manual-wind watch uses a Swiss-made movement that currently runs accurately after service. Its slow-beat mechanical character follows the straightforward construction of the period. Winding through the crown supplies power for the main time display and small seconds.

Military-style watches of the 1940s emphasized clear numerals, readable seconds and practical proportions. Reference 2038P reflects that design context through its straightforward track, separate seconds register and compact plated case.

This used watch is fully serviced and fully operational, retaining its original dial, hands and case with the modern NATO strap fitted. The patina, warm dial spotting and light case wear remain visible. A 12-month warranty is included, and secure worldwide shipping is available.
