The 48-mm base caliber was developed by A. Lange & Söhne in Glashütte and had to meet extremely strict specifications: the daily rate deviation was required to be less than one second. Every movement was tested and certified by the Deutsche Seewarte (German Naval Observatory).

Lange & Söhne, other firms such as Andreas Huber (Munich/Berlin), Wempe (Hamburg), and Alpina-Dugena (Berlin) were involved in the regulation and final finishing of these watches. The finishing companies signed the inner case back. Case: very good, slightly worn. Dial: very good. Movement: very good, in working order, cleaning recommended.
