WMT Lodestar - WWII British Milspec/ Limited 50 pieces WMT-AB078

While pocket watches have suddenly surged in popularity as a trendy modern accessory, they are actually rooted in pure historical authenticity, serving as the original blueprint for utilitarian timekeeping. The new WMT LODESTAR pays direct homage to this heritage, drawing inspiration from the iconic 1940s British "W.W.W." military specifications. Limited to just 50 pieces, this timepiece captures a rugged, historical soul, enhanced by a beautiful aged effect that mimics decades of character.

What truly sets the LODESTAR apart is its remarkable three-way versatility. It features a dedicated chain to be worn as a traditional pocket watch, but can easily be fitted onto a NATO strap to transform into a striking wristwatch. Furthermore, the caseback is cleverly engineered with integrated parts that deploy into a built-in stand, instantly turning the timepiece into a vintage-inspired desk clock.

Powered by the reliable, Japanese-made NH35 movement—which requires manual winding to keep it running smoothly—the LODESTAR is a rare blend of historical storytelling and brilliant multi-functional design.
