Timor Army Trade Pattern (Atp) Wrist Watch

1920 - 1940
Description

This Timor Army Trade Pattern (ATP) watch has a 31mm stainless steel case. A Timor 15 Jewel manual wind movement. Mid case composite chrome base metal bezel. Lug Width 16mm, Lug to lug 31.5mm.

A beautiful unrestored dial clearly stating Timor on the dial its aged naturally to become and off white, yellowish colour. Bold number hour markers with clear subsidiary second dial.

This Timor is an original example of the watch, yes it shows some wear and tear and most likely battle hardened but appears to have those original dial, hands and hour markers in place.

The Army Trade Pattern (ATP) watches were standard-issue timepieces for British military personnel during World War II. Introduced in 1939, these watches were designed to meet the British Army's need for reliable and durable timekeeping devices.

Approximately 17 Swiss watchmakers produced ATP watches, including well-known brands like Omega, Timor Longines, and Ebel. These watches were often civilian watches slightly modified to meet the hurried specification issued by the British Army. Timor was one of the few that built a whole new watch just for the British Army.

This Timor Army Trade Pattern wrist watch originates from the 1940 Second World War military period. It comprises a round cream dial housed inside a weathered chrome-plated case with a stainless steel back, fitted with fixed lug bars and a winding crown on the right side. The dial displays bold black Arabic numerals, a sub-seconds dial positioned at the bottom, cathedral hands, and the Timor signature alongside the word waterproof, completed by a glass crystal face. The finish exhibits visible wear and tear on the case, including scratches and tarnished plating, while the metal bezel shows discoloration and age marks. The dimensions measure 31 cm high by 31 cm wide. As a portable timepiece intended for military personnel, it suits a collector's display cabinet or a gentleman's library setting as a historical study piece.

FAQs

Army Trade Pattern (ATP) watches were commissioned by the British Ministry of Supply during the Second World War to equip British Armed Forces personnel prior to the introduction of the Dirty Dozen series.

These timepieces feature chrome-plated or nickel-plated brass cases, stainless steel backs, acrylic crystals, and mechanical manual-wind Swiss movements designed for field durability.

Authentic ATP watches feature a sub-seconds dial, clear Arabic numerals, Swiss movement markings, and specific military issue engravings on the case back, including the ATP designation.

Vintage military watches can be worn daily on period-appropriate leather or canvas NATO straps, or displayed within curated horology cases alongside historical accessories.

Mechanical timepieces require periodic servicing by a qualified watchmaker, protection from moisture and magnetic fields, and careful manual winding without forcing the crown.
