The manufacturer of this watch is Markenuhren-Verein or Markenuhr GmbH (“Watch Brand Company”), which was founded in 1924 by Willi König and Willibald Felsing of the Zentralverband der Deutschen Uhrmacher (“Central Association of German Watchmaking”). The company soon began using the name Centra or Zentra (a shortened form of “central”) on watches and founded the ZentRa brand on September 4, 1927 in Berlin. They continued making high quality timepieces until the 1980s, when the company ceased production. However it was later purchased and brought back, and ZentRa watches are available to this day.

How many times have we all seen these being used in WW2 movies?
