Re: u boat ship chronometer 14672

No records exist as to which chronometer was issued to which German Navy vessel but you are correct in that they were fitted to surface ships as well as u boats.

You will need to disclose some more info - is there a letter under the swastika? Is there a letter under the number? What is the number on the reverse?

Out of interest, I have a chronometer with the number 15061 which I know as fact came from a u boat - my late father, serving in the Royal Navy, was presented with this by the commander of a surrendering type V11C in May 1945.

Can you let me have a photo?
