Dear All
For sale is this Smiths W10 British Army Wristwatch c.1969.
The end of the Second World War by no means brought about total peace for Britain who became involved in conflicts all over the world. Such conflicts in Palestine, Malaya and Korea were fought with the equipment left over from WW2, which in watch terms for the British Army was primarily the W.W.Ws.
The W.W.Ws remained in continuous use and were joined in the late 1960s by the Smiths W10 wristwatch. These were followed by the W10 mechanical wristwatches produced by CWC and Hamilton in the 1970s.
The Smiths W10s were used by British personnel during the Falklands War in 1982 and up to the first Gulf War at the beginning of the 1990s.
Smiths have a grand history in the UK as watch, clock and instrument makers. They have secured a place in history as having been watchmakers for the British military and Smiths watches even accompanied members of the first Mount Everest Expedition. Sadly, the era of Smiths as military issue watches came to an end in the early 1970s.
The watch for sale is in excellent overall condition having been serviced by our highly skilled and experienced horologist.
The dial is in excellent condition with no obvious flaws or blemishes.
The sword hands, seconds hand and crown are all correct to the original specification of the watch.
The casing is in excellent condition with very few noticeable marks or scratches.
The Smiths 60466E calibre movement is in lovely condition and includes its original magnetic deflector dust cover. The watch is currently running well and keeping good time.
The watch diameter is 36mm.
Please see photos below:
The watch is listed for sale on our website, priced at £2,295, which includes a free six-month warranty and a newly fitted NATO strap.
