This Cyma Dirty Dozen is an authentic example from the original British Ministry of Defence "W.W.W" (Watch, Wrist, Waterproof) specification, dating to around 1944. Known as the largest of the Dirty Dozen watches, its 38mm stainless steel case gives it a commanding presence on the wrist compared to other models in the set. The watch features the correct matte black dial with bold luminous Arabic numerals, a sub-seconds register at 6 o’clock, and original luminous sword hands, all designed for maximum legibility under combat conditions.

Retaining its original military engravings on the caseback – “/|\ W.W.W P24082 29082” – this timepiece carries the marks of its service life, with light scratches and small dings on the bezel and lugs, consistent with genuine wartime use. Paired with a brown NATO-style strap for a period-correct military aesthetic, this watch is powered by Cyma’s robust manual-wind caliber 234 movement. A true collector’s piece, it stands as a functional and historically significant example of WWII military watchmaking.
