leather and 18mm across. The date snaps over with the turn of the crown.

IWC "DIRTY DOZEN" FACTORY ORIGINAL DIAL AND WELL SERVICED
MILITARY PIECE 1949
STOCK NUMBER # IWC90000------This is not an IWC case rather it is a custom piece
and made to fit this genuine IWC caliber 89 center sweep movement and factory
original IWC "Dirty Dozen" dial and hands. I can say this is a 3 piece all
stainless steel case and from lug to lug the total length of this custom case is
43mm long. Across less the large steel crown it is 35mm. The dial once again has
never been molested , touched or altered, it is in the same condition as it left
the factory back in 1949/50. The hands I did re lume and now they are bright at
night and the exact same patina as the original as I am very careful of this
fact I did change the Center Sweep pinion that holds the sweep hand so the
action is smooth as silk as the sweep hand goes around. The movement again is a
caliber 89 with 17 clean and inspected jewels. The serial number for this
movement is 1,206,740 which gives me the date of 1949/50. This movement has been
taken apart and cleaned the proper way so expect a clean running military (non
broad arrow) movement and dial in a generic perfect fit case. There are a slim
and select few movements with the military broad arrow to the center wheel
bridge and this one does not have it. Saying this, over the years 95% of all
caliber 89 movements have been serviced and parts exchanged and swapped out for
new old stock parts so in my point of view I am ok with this piece being sold as
a generic case and a genuine caliber 89 International Watch movement. After the
war they did have these pieces still with the broad arrow case but non broad
arrow signed center wheel bridge so it is correct not forged at all. If this
case had the markings with the broad arrow then you would expect to pay 12,000
USD or more with ease. So here is your chance to own a piece of military history
at a way affordable down to Earth price with a 2 year warranty ;-)
The Dirty Dozen is the name of a movie from the 1960s, depicting the
misadventures of 12 fictional soldiers during the Second World War. It is also,
in watch collecting circles, the name given to a group of 12 watches worn by
those who actually fought in it – specifically, British soldiers. They were
commissioned by the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) during World War II, and
while they may not be as highly rated as other military watches when they are
presented individually, as a set, they become some of the most collectible –
specifically (but not exclusively), by British collectors.
The British military had always been equipped
with the most contemporary timekeepers of their era, from the marine
chronometers of Harrison, John Arnold, and other horological pioneers, which
gave the Royal Navy the essential ability to reliably determine longitude at
sea, to "unbreakable glass" wristwatches advertised by Smiths watches during the
First World War. But, when Great Britain declared war on Germany in 1939, few
local watch companies could compete with Switzerland’s greater production
capabilities, and those still in the business of making components were asked to
focus their efforts on building military parts for the Air Force and the Navy.
Switzerland would export large quantities of watches and pocket watches
during WWII, to both the Allied Forces and the Germans, but these were
civilian market orders which pre-dated the war. The MOD thought these were not
suitable to the needs of British soldiers, and decided to place an order
for custom-built wristwatches. These needed to be accurate, reliable and
durable, which in watch making terms meant they had to be regulated to
chronometer standards, and also be waterproof and shockproof.<p>The watches also
had to have a black dial, Arabic numerals, luminous hour and minute
hands, luminous hour markers, a railroad minute track, a shatterproof crystal,
and a stainless-steel case. Powering them would be 15-jewel
movements, measuring between 11.75 and 13 lignes. Twelve companies would fulfill
this brief: Buren, Cyma, Eterna, Grana,
Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lemania, Longines, IWC, Omega, Record, Timor, and Vertex

A lot
of people wonder why jewels are so important, well
simply if to you had a metal post going through a metal hole after a few years
or so the hole would wear out and become a bit oval which will affect the watch,
if you put a jewel in this hole with a bit of high grade oil and put a metal
post into the hole it will keep it's shape forever! |
