Description

The UMF Ruhla NVA 1942M-5 men's watch combines historical tradition with modern watchmaking technology. As a tribute to the 1985 combat diver prototype, this wristwatch impresses with its robust construction and distinctive military design. Made in the watchmaking town of Ruhla, this model stands for genuine German craftsmanship and reliability in any situation.

Inside this watch, a precise Seiko NH35A automatic movement keeps the right time, while the slightly domed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal optimally protects the fluorescent orange dial. With a water resistance of 20 ATM and a high-quality ceramic bezel, this timepiece is the ideal companion for discerning collectors and outdoor use.

  • High-Quality Materials: Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a unidirectional ceramic rotating bezel guarantee maximum durability.
