Timor Army Trade Pattern (ATP) – British Military WW2 – Manual Wind – 31mm
This Timor Army Trade Pattern (ATP) watch is an original and historically significant British military timepiece from the Second World War. Issued to British Army personnel from 1939 onwards, ATP watches were designed to provide reliable, legible and durable timekeeping in demanding conditions — and this example shows all the hallmarks of an honest, battle‑worn survivor.
Timor was one of the few manufacturers that designed and produced a watch specifically for the British Army, rather than adapting an existing civilian model, making these examples particularly appealing to military‑watch collectors.

Our View
ATP watches are among the most important British military wristwatches of the Second World War, and Timor examples are particularly sought after due to their purpose‑built design. This watch carries visible signs of its history — worn, honest and unapologetically original. It is not a restored display piece, but a true military tool watch that likely accompanied its owner through active service. A whole lot of history in one watch.
