perchè i numeri interni sono specchiati?
Credo che sia una foto "speculare" dell'originale.
Non credo, la corona di carica, è come giustamente deve essere nella posizione canonica della polsatura a sinistra, le sigle sono "dritte", come pure le altre scale numeriche presenti, però è una bella domanda da porsi, c'è nessuno che saprebbe spiegare la stranezza? 
Vero, infatti nel link postato da Fabri c'è la descrizione (in Inglese) dell'orologio e della sua storia:

Navigation watch of the Waffen-SS (M-B) - Deck watch for the SS "Messbatterie"In 1940 the Waffen-SS ordered the company Lange & Soehne to develop a deck watch for the "Messbatterie", based on the Luftwaffe watch B but with a larger diameter. For photographic purposes the seconds numerals were to be added in mirror writing too. After some silver-cased prototypes, ten watches per month were to be delivered starting in March 1941. According to the document at hand Lange & Soehne produced 22 of these watches in nickel-plated cases and with a diameter of 65 mm in 1943.
This B-watch special design was sent together with the others to the SS-Fuehrungshauptamt in Berlin on October 22, 1943.
