Three MiNTY NeW OLD SToCK British MiLiTaRY Watches from the early 60s! Issued with Brit ORDNANCE Numbers but Never worn (though countless of THiS specific watch were worn in the Indonesian conflict). ALL STeeL, I have 2 DiaL Versions of these British MiLiTARY Watches(only One of the ALL Number DiaL seen below). These are 36 mm diameter not including lugs, the manufacturer name of “HMT”.

These are British Military Watches with full Brit Ordnance numbers from the 1962 Indonesian campaign. These British Military Issue watches have the BRiTiSH Broad Arrow and British MiLiTARY Ordnance numbers on the back, this piece dates to the Indonesian Conflict of ‘62. In a fascinating turn of Military sourcing, the Movement is a SLAVA Caliber 1809, a manual wind exceedingly rugged caliber. The SLAVA was a Russian (or in 1962) Soviet, watch manufactory. “HMT“ used Soviet Made movements for these British Military Watches issued for the Indonesian campaign. The irony? British Forces were fighting Communism in Indonesia.

Somewhat similar ironic situation regarding the Rhodesian Military Issue watch early on in the Rhodesian conflict against Communist-backed guerillas in the 1960s...that watch was a Zaigor, which also used the same Soviet-made movement. The Zaigor was eventually replaced as the conflict heated up in 1974 by the Roamer, a Swiss-made military watch that became the iconic and most recognized military watch for the Rhodesians (we have one for sale on this site, check the full watch list to find it).

Back to this British Issue Military Watch. It is a 17-jewel caliber that is superbly accurate and bulletproof (well, maybe not literally), ALL STeeL screwBack case. Also states “para shock”, not a reference to any sort of paramilitary shock troops, but rather the shock absorption system of the movement.

The beautiful functionally styled case is 44mm lug to lug, and 36mm diameter without the crown. Very clean, these are all NeW OLD SToCK, NeVeR WoRN, with only the original marks of manufacturing and a few light surface marks here and there of storage. The DiaL and Movement are Pristing MiNT (though the GLO stuff no longer glows), and with light evidence of storage over the years, the Cases are at 98%. On the screwBack are the British MiLiTARY Broad Arrow and Ordnance Numbers that can be seen below in the picture.

These come on NU BLaCK Canvas Military Straps of the sort they would have been issued with. EMail Us to buy! Or pay with Paypal (top button for U.S. buyers and second button for International buyers)>>>

This is iT! The CoOoOoLeST SOViET MiLiTARY Watch I have seen or offered for sale!
This is a ZiM WristWatch, stamped with an October 1941 Issue Date (see fotos) using a HuGGGE Pocket Watch Caliber CHK6 Movement with a GiANT 52 millimeter Case converting the movement into a wristwatch.
It is a very RaRE piece made in sMaLL numbers, using the pocket watch caliber with it’s ORiGiNaL pocket watch DiaL in a WristWatch Case. These are FuLL ON MiLiTARY GRaDE with a SPaRKLiNG WHiTE DiaL against which the BLaCK Baton Hands can easily be read. Both the Movement and Caseback are stamped with the 1941 date, the inside caseback specifying October of that year.
You may, if lucky, find the pocket watch version of this piece (same dial and movement) but this wristwatch version was made in only smaLLLLL numbers.
Running extremely well, though I don’t know it’s last servicing date, and fitted with NU black leather MiLiTARY straps. Dial is in very GooD condition. Chromed Brass case Also in very decent shape for a RaRE Russian watch of this vintage. EVERYTHiNG is ORiGiNAL and Untouched, NOT refinished or polished! For the TRUE CoLLeCTOR!
A SUPREME CoLLeCTiBLE for fans of Soviet Era watches, and MiLiTARY watches, and just anything that is fascinating. Only one, and the only one I expect EVeR to Have. eMail Us to buy! Or pay with Paypal (top button for U.S. buyers and second button for International buyers)>>>

This is what I have a Watch Website for! Being able to offer one of the rarest British Issue MiLiTARY watches from WW2... the UNiTAS 'ATP' (Army Time Piece) Military Watch! Get that? A UNiTAS 'ATP' WW2 MiLiTARY Issue Watch! (note: the 'Bravington's' logo on the back comes from Bravingtons being the supplier for these and other brand ATP Military watches to the British government in WW2, although some claim Bravington's put their logo on these after the war and sold them as post war surplus.)

For those of you who know what a WW2 British Issue ATP Watch is, you are already clicking the paypal link and purchasing it. For those who don't know, a brief history is as follows: the ATP watches were the first British Army watch of WW2, contracted from the Swiss in 1939. They were replaced by the larger black dialed WWW (Wristwatch, Waterproof) in the last two years of the war.

What makes this UNiTAS 'ATP" WW2 MiLiTARY watch, in part, so RARE is the Swiss requirement for providing ATP watches, i.e. that they BE DESTROYED at the end of the war, which MANY were. These WW2 Military ATP watches were contracted at low prices from the Swiss, and the Swiss companies did not want the WW2 Military ATP watches competing with what would be their production after the war.

Luckily, a number of them survived. No such 'destroy' order existed for the WWW watches coming online in 1944.

The UNiTAS 'ATP' WW2 Military watch is rare beyond the wholesale destruction of ATP watches at war's end. Those of you who know your watches are, again, probably already clicking the paypal link. UNiTAS is one of the hallowed names of watchmaking. Of those that provided atp's to the British, the most renowned were Lemania and Unitas, whose movements were and are prized as not only making their own movements, but for making legendary movements that left the other manufacturers behind. Aside from that, Unitas atp's are extraordinarily hard to find. More so in the condition this one is in. The UNiTAS movements are so legendary that very high grade special issues of watches with UNiTAS movements can now be seen, new old stock from the past, and replications of their old calibers.

Ahhh, but to have a real, vintage UNiTAS ATP WW2 Military watch...perhaps the pinnacle of collectibility? Well, at least for the Military watch collector. And thus, as they say, you've gotta have it.

This UNiTAS ATP WW2 Military watch, aside from being rare just for existing, is in remarkable shape. I was told upon purchase that it was used during the war, and then stored upon war's end until it's sale to, ME. The condition certainly bares this possibility out. The ALL STEEL ScrewBack case with FiXED BARS has some marks of use on it, but very little wear from prolonged use such as years of wearing. The dial is in beautiful condition, but does have a patina (for want of a better word).

Still, that is scant wear, especially for a WW2 Military watch. Finding a WW2 ATP watch in this condition is quite rare, let alone a UNiTAS WW2 ATP Military watch. As for the UNiTAS signed movement, it looks virtually new...no wear and marks from years of being serviced. Yup, I'd say storage since WW2 is very consistent for the appearance of this UNiTAS WW2 ATP Military watch. The collector from whom I purchased it stated it had been recently serviced. This I have no independent knowlege of, though I can say this UNiTAS WW2 ATP Military timepiece is running very well and proper.

This UNiTAS ATP WW2 Military timepiece is nicely sized at 36mm wide (including crown) and 38mm long lug to lug, larger than a 60s Rolex men's Oyster Precision, and perhaps the largest of the British WW2 ATP Military watches...another reason for getting it if you don't like itty bitty watches.

The UNiTAS ATP WW2 Military comes supplied on a new calf grain band. I'd suggest NOT just thinking about buying this. As the Nike logo goes, JUST DO iT! Once gone these are virtually impossible to find. In any condition. Don't be kicking yourself ;D EMail Us to inquire Or buy NoW and Use your Credit Card and pay with Paypal--even if not a member...
