The Dirty Dozen watches were commissioned by the British Ministry of Defence during World War II, designed to meet strict military specifications for accuracy, legibility, and durability. Twelve Swiss manufacturers, including Omega, produced these rugged timepieces for the Allied forces. Omega’s contribution stood out for its precision and reliability, powered by the calibre 30T2 movement. With its bold Arabic numerals, luminous hands, and military broad arrow, the Omega Dirty Dozen remains a highly collectible wartime classic.

What's on Offer

This exceptional Omega W.W.W Dirty Dozen is a true collector’s piece, in remarkable condition given its age and military heritage. Issued around 1944, it features a beautifully preserved rich black dial with bold Arabic numerals, a recessed sub-dial at 6 o’clock, and an outer minute track — all hallmarks of the Ministry of Defence specifications.

The original lume remains intact across the hands and hour plots and has aged beautifully. The iconic broad arrow (pheon) sits proudly beneath the Omega logo, denoting the watch as property of the British MoD.

Encased in stainless steel, the case retains excellent definition with wear consistent with its age and service. Inside ticks Omega’s legendary Calibre 30T2, renowned for its precision, reliability, and ease of maintenance — qualities that made it the perfect companion for wartime duty.

A fantastic addition - in fact, an absolute asset to any military or Omega collection.
