Its a Retrowerk watch from Germany with Swiss eta auto movement , 316 ss body, sapphire crystal, removable compass unit, built like a tank with great quality about it. Big but not massive in size. Great fun to wear. Top wheel indicates hours, small wheel indicates minutes, spring loaded crown guard. A really well built watch.

Thank you it is a very neat watch. I am a fan of different ways that some watches display time.

Its a new watch, they made a quartz and a lesser auto version. The eta version is harder to find but still available. The crown guard sticks out a little but that's the price of fashion!. It comes with a leather strap but I switched it to a NATO.
