The ‘Dirty Dozen’ watches, marked W.W.W. for "Watch Wristlet Waterproof," were produced in 1945 to meet the rigorous standards of the British Ministry of Defense. These watches, crafted by twelve companies including Cyma, Buren, Omega, and Longines, are iconic military timepieces. This Cyma example is a true gem, featuring the Broad Arrow symbol on the dial and the W.W.W. engraving on the case back. The watch boasts a 38mm steel case with a stepped bezel and screw-down case back marked with military engravings and a mill serial number. The black dial is a timeless design, featuring radium lume on a railroad track, Arabic numerals, and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. It comes on the pictured NATO strap, combining style and function. The manual-wind caliber 234 movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker, ensuring it’s ready for years of wear.
