A Very Rare Opportunity to Purchase an Incredibly Well Preserved and Very Collectable Grana WW2 Dirty Dozen Soldiers Watch in Original Condition with Original Military Engravings, c.1944

Among the prestigious collection known as the "Dirty Dozen," a series of watches commissioned by the British Ministry of Defence during World War II for use by their armed forces, one stands out for its rarity: the Grana. The Dirty Dozen consists of timepieces from 12 manufacturers, including well-known names like Omega, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and IWC. However, it is the Grana that captures the attention of collectors due to its exceptional scarcity.
    
The Grana watches are distinguished not just by their historical significance but also by their limited numbers. Produced by Kürth Frères under the brand name Grana - no true Dirty Dozen collection is complete without the Grana.

What's on Offer

We are incredibly pleased to offer this superb (and scarce) Grana Dirty Dozen WW2 soldiers watch for sale. We have been lucky enough to procure a number of these sought-after watches over the last 12 years and we are always very sad to see them go.

This watch is in unbelievable condition, just look at that rich black dial with the bold Arabic numerals, hallmark recessed sub-seconds dial at 6 o'clock and the military pheon at 12 - the arrow that denotes the watch as property of the MoD. But the most glorious thing about this watch is undoubtedly the lume, for those who appreciate the ageing process of any vintage watch, and certainly for collectors of the DD family, that wonderful pumpkin lume is the holy grail! You will also note the original military engravings on the case back - this watch is in fantastic condition and given its rarity, we don't expect it to be around for long. This is your chance to own one of the most collectable military watches on the market today. Very much a potential investment opportunity and a beautiful piece to own. Don't pass it by.
