Dear All

For sale is this Omega 6B/159 RAF Pilots Wristwatch c.1956.

In 1956, a large number of surplus 6B/159 pilot watches originating from WW2 were modified and re-issued to the RAF by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

The wonderful movements, and in some cases, the dial and hands from the cheaper wartime alloy cased watches were re-housed in larger stainless-steel, screwback, waterproof cases. These cases were supplied by the famous British case maker, Dennison.

Interestingly, these watches were the last to be issued to the RAF with the 6B/159 designation.

The Omega ’56 for sale is a wonderful example of its kind and is sure to be of interest to any military watch collector or enthusiast.

The watch is in excellent overall condition.

The beautiful blue steel hands and crown are correct to the original specification of the watch.

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

The casing looks to be in excellent condition with very few noticeable marks or scratches.

The Omega 30T2 calibre movement is all correct and is in very good condition. The watch is currently running well and keeping very good time.

The watch diameter is 36mm.
