This is why the standard Bunds were normally regulated and why the Sternzeit is so rare. You might be wondering why the German Army needs this absurd way of time-telling and the answer is that they mostly didn’t. As a result, a sidereal day lasts 23 hours and 56 minutes as supposed the solar day which as we know is 24 hours. The aforementioned term translates to sidereal time and it is a way of telling the time based on the Earth’s rotation in relationship to distant stars. There were several variants of the ‘Bund’ with the rarest example you see here- the ‘Sternzeit Reguliert’. The Heuer Bundeswehr Flyback Chronograph was made for the Germany Army between the ’60s and the ’70s and it is one of the most famous issued chronographs out there.
