Dear All

For sale is this Longines W.W.W. "Dirty Dozen" British Army Wristwatch c.1945

As many of you may know these watches began being manufactured and issued to the British Army in early 1945. There were 12 Swiss manufacturers of the W.W.W. watches and as such, the collection is commonly referred to by collectors and dealers alike as “The Dirty Dozen”. Only around 5,000 Longines W.W.W. watches were made for the British Army during WW2.

The Longines WWW for sale is in wonderful overall condition.

The dial is in excellent condition with no obvious flaws or blemishes.

The cathedral hands, seconds hand and crown are all correct to the original specification of the watch.

As expected, there are several fairly minor scratches and marks to the outer casing of the watch, which is commensurate with age.

Happily, the lug and case back numbers match which confirms the mid-case and case back are original to each other.

The 12.68z calibre movement is in excellent condition and is currently running well and keeping good time.

The watch diameter is 38mm.

Please see photos below:

The watch is listed for sale on our website priced at £5,995, which includes a free six-month warranty and a newly fitted NATO strap.
