Chronograph with Flyback function for determining coordinates by means of the stars from 1969. It is extremely rare for such Federal Armed Forces chronographs to be on offer. This particular one is in excellent condition and comes with the complete set of special accessories for astronomical orientatioin (original leather case containing a celestial disc; a nautical almanac and an engeneer's scale). Since successful coordinate determination requires a watch that is set to sideral time (Sternzeit); this piece has been set to normal time making it suitable for everyday use.
