This
vintage, military MIMO SWISS MADE watch saw WW2! This particular
watch was produced for the GERMAN military in 1940-1942. The 35mm. screw back case on
this watch is without major dings. These cases are sleek and slender-they
truly look fantastic to wear on the wrist! They also look
larger, due to the large dial and narrow, polished bezel.
The manual winding MIMO movements are of fine quality and was produced by GIRARD PERREGAUX. This
one just cleaned and accurate. The original dial on this MIMO is all original, having radium markers
and matching hands, large sub-seconds and gold gilt print.
!
Interestingly, MIMO watch company (girard Perregaux) ordered their military service
watches "smashed after WW2" many witnesses recorded
destroying these watches. This was done to not flood the market,
thus retaining MIMO'S status as a fine watchmaker. Who knows
how many remain? These are rare and highly collectable.

This
vintage,1960's ZODIAC AEROSPACE JET HERMETIC watch is quite uncommon! This is a true 24 hour military dial, where the hands only go around ONCE in a 24 hour period. This watch also has a hacking seconds when the crown is pulled out, similar to a Glycine Airman. The stainless
steel (signed ZODIAC) case measures 34mm. across and has a
"snap"(hermetic) back. The original, signed ZODIAC winding
crown is still present. The dial is very striking and unique-"roulette"
style black and red with seconds register and radium, pencil
hands. The dial is extremely attractive and really "pops"
on the wrist! The manual winding (quality) caliber 721 movement
was recently cleaned and is keeping time. The watch has some
usual (minor) scratches on the case from normal use. This is an uncoomon vintage watch. Only $995,

Look
at this all original and very hard to find GEMAN MILITARY HANHART FLIEGER pilot's chronograph measuring a hefty 39mm. and a thick 22.5mm in a nickel over brass case. This version of the watch dated between about 1942-46 and was supplied to French and German forces. This watch retains German markings on the case back.. The rotating coin edge bezel is original. In fact, this is a prime original example all around, including the dial, hands and movement-never refinished anywhere! The original dial is the cleanest we have ever seen. All the luminous on the hands and dial is still intact. The manual winding caliber 15 flyback movement made by HANHART was just cleaned and is accurate. The chrono hand sometimes returns VERY slightly to the right or left of 12...VERY slight. My watchmaker said there is some slight play there-not really noticeable, but I will mention. These FLIGER chronographs are very large watches-hefty and eye grabbing on the wrist! The case is really quite excellent considering the age and the fact these cases to wear from extended use. Keep in mind, my close-up picture show more wear than is evident with the naked eye. A thick leather military style band is installed to complete the look. This is a prime and original example that is a must-to-have in any military collection. Only $3395.

This
vintage, all original and correct 1942 ROLEX AVIATORS watch
named the "ROLEX SKYROCKET" was produced for Canadian
soldiers going overseas in WW2 and was marketed towards fighter
pilots. The
original, and very clean 29.5mm. gold plated case with original
dust proof winding crown, stepped bezel, made by ID case
company for ROLEX is in very fine condition after an expensive re-plating. Many of these contract cases made by ID and PIONEER were NOT signed ROLEX, as ROLEX commissioned ID an PIONEER case company to produce their cases in CANADA to circumvent import duties. These ROLEX SKYROCKET watches were ALL small in stature, so, please
don't buy it if you don't want a smaller sized watch. They
were likely made smaller do reduce the chance of damaging them. The original dial on this SKYROCKET has very mild and usual
ageing, lending to its' authenticity and vintage appeal. Notice
the red, 24 hour register, original, radium, blued steel
hands and sweep-seconds. The manual winding caliber 59 ROLEX
movement (correctly signed ROLEX under the dial) is sparkling
and keeping accurate time after a recent cleaning by our watchmaker.
We simply are not seeing these watches appear as of
late. Most ROLEX SKYROCKET dials have been refinished, which greatly reduces
their value. Only $1595.

The
uncommon 1970's GLYCINE AIRMAN SST vintage Pliot's watch was one of many Jet aviator's premier choices! These SST watches are rarer than the earlier Glycine Airman models. This watch allows the owner to keep time in two different time zones. The hands only rotate once a day and display military time. These watches are huge in size, measuring a massive 42mm. across.The correct GLYCINE AIRMAN SST bracelet was used on this last issue of the watches. These bracelets were unsigned, but we guarantee this one to be correct. The early bracelet versions were signed. The two tone (A.M.-P.M.) dial is original as are the hands and liminous. The case is in spectacular, original and unpolished shape with all serial numbers clear and is without any major dings. There are some minor scratch marks-fewer than we have ever seen on an all original SST. The movement was not cleaned by us, but is keeping very accurate time with the (pull out crown) hacking function working perfectly. Both the winding crown and inner rotating bezel setting crown are original.The original birch wood box (with a piece of wood on the ridge missing-still closes and looks fine) is rare to find and included with this watch. Notice the original price tag on the box and the Aircraft component company sticker! The glycine Airman SST was used by many Jet pilots throughout the world, due to its'easy-to-read dial and handsome looks. Only $1995.

The
GLYCINE AIRMAN vintage military watch was used in Vietnam;
popular amongst military servicemen and pilots everywhere.

and conventional time at the same time! This example is spectacular
overall; all original, including the black dial with military
hands in pristine condition, along with the rarer screw back (early) 1960's case. The lower
crown locks the rotating bezel. The entire case is in very fine
condition with no major dings or scratches. We are including a generic steel bracelet to complete the look. The automatic
winding, signed (A.S. 1700/01, true 24hr movement was cleaned by GLYCINE RETAILER and authorized service center Falcon Watch Company and
is keeping time very well! These watches are very hard to
find-quite collectable and uncommon in original
condition. Please note; many are not aware, GLYCINE AIRMAN
watches have a hacking seconds feature. When the crown is
pulled out a hollow tube shoots up a microscopic wire at 12:00
stopping the second hand when it reaches 12:00! This hacking
seconds feature is working perfectly! Please also note. PARTS
TO FIX SECOND STOP ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE...they sold out
2007. Due to the desirability of the GLYCINE AIRMAN, there
are FAKES out there...we know the difference...many are getting
scammed...be careful...especially on eBay! Please note: These Airman's are becoming VERY hard to find in 2009 .It seems collectors have harboured them and fresh AIRMANS are NOT coming to market. Please be aware that clean models at this price may soon be unavailable. This is a serviced, prime,
all correct and original example of an uncommon 1960's GLYCINE Airman
with hacking seconds. $1950.

Here
is a Broad Arrow (British Military) CYMA TAVANNES
military watches in one of the largest (original)
stainless steel cases you will find, measuring
a whopping 38.5mm! The case is resembles a "refined
solid, steel block"... 12.5mm. thick... double
bezel that is stepped...(both bezels wide), with
steel screw back having marking of "5"
on the rear. These watches are the favourites
of watchmakers: they speak of their very fine
movements; not unlike the quality of OMEGA of
same era...very robust and reliable....a true
military "beast" of a watch that could
handle most situations during battle. The dial;
(unlike most we find) is all ORIGINAL, glossy
black, CYMA, in gold gilt and TAVANNES in silver
print with gold, reflective, Arabic, bold numerals
and substantial sub-seconds register, all in near
new condition! The original radium is still intact
on the pencil hands and markers...geeze! If you
are looking for a massive military watch that
feels "LIKE IRON" on the wrist....and
looks like your lady in the "face"...you
got it. $1150.

Look
at this very uncommon 37mm. Jardur aviators chronograph.
It is rarer to see a gold filled case in such pristine
condition! The original dial is as clean as you will
ever find! Most aren't aware, JARDUR watches are considered
to be a “tool” watch.... designated only for pilots and marketed in EUROPE. Note the completely
ORIGINAL, bold, black, vibrant red and white dial...perfect
for high visibility on this sophisticated 24 hour
dial! Note the scale for degrees. The 3,6,9 are located
in the middle of the chronograph chapters and original
radium hands.This rare example houses the VALJOUX
72. This movement was just disassembled and cleaned...
all functioning perfectly. This movement is considered
to be one of the finest EVER produced; and was used
by the ROLEX DAYTONA PAUL NEWMAN chronograph. This
is a striking and all original pilots watch in very
fine condition! We just can't pin down which air force
actually commissioned them... some help would be appreciated!
The 37mm. gold filled with stainless steel screw back
(original) case is in very fine overall condition.
A real stunning example! We often see the name of
the case manufacturer "Pilgrim" etched out
in the inside case back. This is actually documented
in military watch reference books. We don't know why
they did it, but half the Jardurs we've seen have
it omitted. This particular JARDUR does not have the
name etched out. We have been specializing and selling
more JARDURS than any dealer in the world. They are
EXTREMELY uncommon! We seek them out for you! $2695.

battle. The dials are interesting and complicated on these
LIPTONS; this, having raised Arabic numerals, bulls-eye middle, and outer minute track, along with
sub-seconds. This watch retains the original oyster patent
winding crown also in excellent shape. The caliber 59 (correctly signed) ROLEX under the dial) was just cleaned and is accurate. These are very collectable WW2 military ROLEX watches! Only $1295.
