Record was one of the twelve Swiss manufacturers commissioned by the British Ministry of Defence to produce the famed “Dirty Dozen” military watches during World War II. Renowned for their reliability and robust construction, Record’s contributions featured clear black dials, luminous numerals, and durable stainless-steel cases designed to withstand the rigours of combat. Today, Record Dirty Dozen watches are highly prized by collectors, valued for their wartime provenance, functional design, and enduring place in military watch history.

What's on Offer

We are very pleased to present this superb Record Dirty Dozen military watch, issued around 1944. The watch features the synonymous rich black dial with crisp white Arabic numerals, original sword hands, and a recessed sub-seconds dial at 6 o’clock. The hour plots and hands retain their original lume and the military pheon is present to denote the watch as property of the MoD. The dial is encapsulated underneath a shatterproof Plexiglas crystal. 

Encased in stainless steel and fitted with a black NATO-style strap, it retains its robust military aesthetic. The case back is correctly engraved with W.W.W and serial numbers. A highly collectible piece, backed with a 12-month warranty.
