This superb vintage WW2 British Military issue RAF broad arrow wristwatch is built to take the rigors of military service while clearly displaying the time at a moments glance. With a massive 36mm diameter case this timepiece has a hard to miss presence on the wrist. The crystal design is unique in that a flared edge fits into the case from the back while the movement is removed, then screwed into place by an inner ring before the watch movement is replaced, hence giving more water-protection and strength. This watch shows beautiful wear giving it that unmistakable vintage military worn feel.
