During the Second World War the company became one of only twelve manufacturers selected by the British Ministry of Defence to produce the legendary W.W.W. (Watch, Wrist, Waterproof) military wristwatch. Today the Cyma Dirty Dozen is highly regarded by collectors for its excellent in-house calibre, practical military design and comparatively limited production, making surviving examples increasingly sought after.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's on Offer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-end=\"887\" data-start=\"566\"\u003eIssued circa 1945, this Cyma W.W.W. Dirty Dozen is an authentic British military wristwatch bearing the correct W.W.W. broad arrow caseback markings with military issue number P13036.

The caseback markings remain clearly legible, preserving its military provenance. Fitted to a military-style NATO strap and supplied with a 12-month warranty, this is an outstanding opportunity to own one of the most respected members of the Dirty Dozen family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1727\" data-start=\"1240\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe stainless steel case displays honest service wear consistent with an issued military watch approaching eighty years of age, with  military engravings remaining visible on the caseback. The black dial has developed an attractive aged patina, while the luminous plots and hands exhibit natural ageing that enhances its originality. The plexiglass crystal shows light marks commensurate with age. The Cyma Calibre 234 manual movement is running well with an approximate 44-hour power reserve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Watch Specialist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57048630690167,"sku":"vws4187","price":2250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0139\/8092\/6009\/files\/VWS-4187_0.jpg?v=1782297949","url":"https:\/\/vintagewatchspecialist.com\/products\/cyma-www-dirty-dozen-british-army-issued-ww2-c-1945","provider":"Vintage Watch Specialist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
