Longines WWW For the British Army.
There are still some military watches I am running after. Such as a beautiful Longines WWW. With its 37 mm case, it is big enough and provides a great presence on the wrist. Therefore, it has a lot of charm and soul.

Such a fantastic piece. There is not much material about the adventures of those wwII watches, sadly.

i own one small book, but without any personal stories in it.
the most interesting thing i learned is that Vacheron made watches for the Wehrmacht.
Twelve like the months of the year, the stroke of midnight and the bastards ;-))) symbol of th fighting spirit !

There's a fair example of a Buren DD . . .
. . . on eBay now, Nicolas, located in the UK. I gave it some thought, but after three vintage Omegas in four months, I'm done for awhile.

Story goes that also Enicar was asked, but no watch was ordered because they also sold to the enemy.

Though Enicar made ATP watches confirm MoD specifications, like many Swiss brands. The brands that sold watches to Axis countries had a black dial, the Allied countries had white dialed watches.
