Part of the well know and well collected 'Dirty Dozen' collection of British military watches from WW2. The Omega being one of the 12 brands the Ministry of Defence contracted to supply watches to be used by Military personal throughout the war.

The Omega although not the rarest of them all (thought to be 25,000 made) it is one that is becoming increasingly harder to find that remains original without having had work carried out to the dial. This is one that although shows some dissolving of the number hour markers with aged hands it is one that appears to be original which to many is a decisive factor on when considering adding to a collection.

Black Matte dial with off white stained origianl hour markers and track, subsidiary seconds to the bottom of the dial. As with all Dirty Dozen watches and the requirement of the MOD the black dial contrasts with the hands and hour markers to make for easy reading.

35mm stainless steel case, fixed rigid pin bars, manual wind 30T2 Caliber. Dial signed Omega and with the MOD Broad Arrow. Caseback markings clearly visible.

A really good example of a Dirty Dozen watch that appears to have seen service.

The case has been polished at some stage with the dial appearing to be relumed at some point as to ensure the owner could continue to use and wear long after service.

Although work has been carried out later on despite this its a really good example of one of the much sought after Dirty Dozen watches.
