In the 1950s, the Canadian military commissioned a number of well-regarded manufacturers to produce purpose-built chronographs, in a similar way to the British army and the Dirty Dozen.
These manufacturers included Breitling, Omega, and Rodania – all of which produced strikingly similar timepieces for the Royal Canadian Navy and Air Force. These watches were fitted with white dials, all of which were delivered unsigned except for those made by Omega. The most desirable of all the watches, we are delighted to have a beautiful example to offer you guys !
The 38mm steel case is in good condition and has a screw down case back. The originally-white dial has turned a wonderful panna-cotta hue that we love. The syringe hands have tritium lume. This Omega is fitted with the pictured leather strap. The watch has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.
We have always love military watches and would love to discuss this watch and any others that we have in stock. Get in touch and let’s work something out!
