For Sale Paketa 24 Hour Watch This is an unusual watch that I originally purchased on eBay out of curiosity. It has a 24 hour dial so the hour hand only sweeps once per day instead if the usual two rotations. This means for instance that the normal hand position for 03:00 or 15:00 instead indicates 06:00. Apparently this was used by submariners as they would lose track of AM/PM. In addition the watch has two numeral dials, the outer black dial can be rotated by turning the secondary crown and this allows the wearer to tell the time in two time zones. The watch face has CCCP on it so I presume this is an older Russian watch. It has quite a classic dress watch appearance and look very smart on the wrist. I have paired it with a classic black leather watch strap. Good Luck Bidding!
