Dirty Dozen British Military Watch

SKU: CHW5456 Category: Tags: , , ,

As with most of the so called ‘Dirty Dozen’ watches it has a 35mm case size. In steel with plexiglass, classic black dial with Arabic number hour markers with luminous baton or spot hour markers inside the numbers with a track running around. Large subsidiary dial at 6 counting the seconds.

If you’re searching for this watch then you will know what it is, if not then briefly it’s one of the twelve watches made by Swiss watch manufacturers for the British Military of Defence for the second world war.

We are honest and upfront about all of our watches; this one has passed through our watchmaker and is in fine working order. It is not the very finest example of the IWC from the collection, but it is a great example and worthy of most collections. It’s also priced accordingly.

As with most of the so called ‘Dirty Dozen’ watches it has a 35mm case size. In steel with plexiglass, classic black dial with Arabic number hour markers with luminous baton or spot hour markers inside the numbers with a track running around. Large subsidiary dial at 6 counting the seconds.

Beautifully and importantly naturally discoloured dial, hands and markers in a process that has happened over time. The dial even appears to have slightly speckled or pitted adding to the unique feel to it.

Dial marked with the MOD Board Arrow and the rear of the case stamped with the broad arrow, WWW and the number M17210.

Calibre 83. movement with all numbers that match up. Fitted to an unsigned but well-suited brown leather strap and steel buckle.

Being an IWC it is one of the more sought-after Dirty Dozen watches. With an estimated 5000 manufactured it is not the rarest, however, once sold it is generally one less that is likely to see the market for some years.

Having put together many collections in the past we think this is a great example. A working military watch with great history that can be worn daily, although it should be remembered that this is not waterproof, and we have chosen to leave the watch unpolished and to leave as original as we can so will show marks and scratches etc consistent with age.
