Gents 1940s Timor Www Military Wrist Watch

Gents 1940s Timor WWW military wrist watch.

UK POSTAGE ONLY

The watch has a Timor calibre 6060 hand-winding movement (15 jewels, 4 adjustments) which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Timor name, and it is all protected by an inner dust cover.

The watch measures 36mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition with just the odd minor mark, nothing serious at all.

The case back is signed on both the inside and outside of the case back with the Timor name, along with the military arrow, or pheon, and the WWW (Wrist, Watch, Waterproof) mark. In the 1940s, 12 watch making companies, including Timor, were commissioned to make watches for the British Ministry of Defence, all working to the same set of specifications and the watches are known today as the Dirty Dozen.

The lens has light marking but is very acceptable.

With regards to the dial, we suspect that this was repainted many years ago, possibly after the war to make the watch looks less military, and more suitable for civilian use.

A new NATO style strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (because of GPSR legislation, we no longer post items less than 100 years old to Europe, including Northern Ireland).
