Omega has a long and distinguished history of military service, most notably during World War II. As one of the twelve manufacturers commissioned to produce the legendary “Dirty Dozen” watches for the British Ministry of Defence, Omega supplied robust, highly legible timepieces that met strict military specifications. These watches proved vital for soldiers in the field, combining precision and resilience. Today, Omega’s military heritage adds significant historical weight and collectability to these rare wartime examples.

What's on Offer

A superb example of the legendary Omega Dirty Dozen, issued around 1944 and one of the most coveted military wristwatches ever produced. The dial is exceptional — a deep, rich black with crisp white Arabic numerals, recessed sub-seconds, and its original sword hands. The lume has aged evenly, glowing with that perfect warm patina collectors dream of. Inside beats the famed Omega 30T2 calibre, revered for its reliability and precision. The military pheon at 6 o’clock proudly denotes MoD ownership, while the stainless-steel case retains its original wartime engravings. These watches are highly sought after and seldom found in such attractive condition. A true gem for the serious military or Omega collector.
