Vintage Cyma Military Strap Watch

I saw this over at Asos and thought it was pretty interesting. A Vintage Cyma Military Strap Watch... This watch dates back to the 1950's after World War II and Cyma has been in business since 1862.... that's hot... What I like about this watch is the contrast. The evidence of almost 60 years of wear on the face gives it even more character. Notice the slightly raised circles above each number. The metal body of the watch is offset by the black dial with gold accents.  The combination of yellow and silver metals can get tricky, but it works well here with the green canvas strap.

The wear on the hands does make it look like it bears witness to history. The strap is simple yet fitting. I can almost see this being worn by soldiers coming back from the war.
