The limited and numbered series of 250 pieces that this watch is part of was modelled on the Movado military watches produced early in the last century. At the time the watches were designed specially for members of the Swiss Army; this watch comes with an original "Mannsputzzeug". The maintenance kit contains everything a soldier needs to look after his personal equipment; it consists of a coarse cloth holder with a special set of sewing threads with a needle, various army buttons for the soldier’s leather belt, shoe polish, shoe and clothes brushes and other things. Where one of the brushes has been removed, the kit now holds the small wooden case with the watch. The whole kit is protected by a leather carrier.
