A historic timepiece worn by Nazi pilots during WWII has emerged from a desk drawer and may soon fetch over $12,000 at auction.
Made by the renowned German watchmakers A. Lange & Sohne in the early 1940s, the watch was supplied to the Luftwaffe during the conflict.
Issued to aircrews before each flight, they were synchronized to the standard time of the German Naval Observatory after receiving a signal from their airbase.
