This Cyma “Dirty Dozen” bears battle-hardened character — with visible marks, scratches, and natural patina that tell its story.

Despite this, it remains a fine and fully functional example, having been freshly serviced and tested.

Included with the watch is a Cyma presentation box (not original to the piece but a charming display or gift addition) and a spare Cyma dial, offering the option to customise for a more aged, original aesthetic if desired.
