How many Bronze Milspec were made? Around 45. Among them how many US NAVY? 4 or 5 are known. One day I will publish my investigation on them, which costed me twelve years of work...
The number 3237 has ben auctioned by Phillips, last week, and it was one of the 4 or 5 I know.
Credit: Phillips.
It is always interesting to see a TRUE rare watch, whose value is historical, and a bit horological, as, at the contrary of the other Bronze, these US NAVY have an AS 1361 and TR 900 hands, with hacking seconds.
Not the kind of watch you will see, even in a lifetime...
Best,
Nicolas
