About this watch

Seikosha Tensoku WW2 Japanese Pilot Watch 48mm Circa 1940 Seikosha Tensoku Second World War pilot watch presented in very good vintage condition throughout. The case retains exceptionally sharp lugs with crisp lines and strong definition, indicating minimal disturbance over time. Light hairline scratches are visible on the caseback, consistent with age and careful handling, while the case flanks and bezel remain clean and well preserved. The original leather strap is in great condition, displaying supple texture and excellent integrity for its age, with no significant cracking or structural concerns. The dial and hands have been re lumed to a high standard, with an even and well matched luminous application that maintains the authentic aesthetic of the Tensoku layout. We also ran a Geiger counter across the watch and confirmed that it is not emitting radiation. The re lumed dial and hands are fully non radioactive and safe. This is truly a once in a lifetime find, combining strong case geometry, original strap condition and a well executed luminous restoration. It stands as a rare surviving example of one of the most historically important Japanese military watches ever produced.
