CWC 6BB Chronograph – Sterile Dial | Military-Issued RAF Watch | Valjoux 7733 | Tritium | Broad Arrow | Circa 1970s

This authentic CWC 6BB Chronograph is a genuine piece of British military history. Issued by the Ministry of Defence and believed to have been used by RAF pilots during the 1970s, possibly even during the Falklands War, this timepiece is part of the revered “Fab Four” military chronographs—a group of watches issued to British forces in that era.

This example is in a raw and honest condition, worn as intended, and clearly lived a life of service. It is a true tool watch, unpolished and full of character.
