An eye-catching watch, this WWW military timepiece is from one of the 12 brands we collectors know as "The Dirty Dozen', that is to say, the 12 companies that supplied watches to the British MOD [Ministry of Defence] and bear what we also know as the broad arrow on both dial and caseback. Record WWWs used their own 15j Cal. 022K movement.
The dial is actually quite cool with some patina from the radium hands. The case has some marks but overall in great condition for being what it is.
Iv'e been wearing this watch for almost 1,5week now and the manual movement winds up smooth and keeps time well. Service history unknown.
