Description: Extremely Rare WWII Kirovskie Type I K-43 Black Dial Soviet Issued Paratrooper Watch for sale. This watch was issued by the RKKA during WWII as denoted by the white issued number on the lower half of the dial. Difficult to find any period photographs of the black dialed variant (also known as the Paratrooper Dial), as the majority were white dialed, but I was able to locate one photograph where this variation is being worn by an RKKA Tank commander. The watch winds, ticks, and wears like a modern watch. The biggest issue wearing WWII watches is the unfortunate smaller 24mm-34mm sizing of 99% of the watch cases produced during this era. Sporting a 43mm case diameter, this larger-sized watch is one of the few exceptions of it's time, right alongside the 44mm Kriegsmarine-issued Panerai Radiomir's and 55mm Luftwaffe-issued B-Uhren watches. If you prefer wearing 36mm-46mm watches and find the Eastern Front theater of war during WWII particularly riveting, this is a hard-to-find watch that will truly set your military watch collection apart from fellow collectors.
