Vintage Rolex Oyster Centregraph WW2 Men’s Military Watch

For sale is a remarkable piece of horological history: a genuine Vintage Oyster Watch Company Oyster Centregraph from the World War II era. This watch was produced by the Oyster Watch Company, which was owned and operated by Rolex. During WWII, Rolex utilized the Oyster Watch Co. name to navigate tariffs and import restrictions in certain countries, particularly the UK and Canada. As a result, watches were branded Oyster Watch Co. instead of Rolex, despite being manufactured with the same components, using Rolex’s patented waterproof Oyster case, and built to the same standards. While the dial does not display the Rolex name, this is still a Rolex-built watch, making it a highly desirable and historically significant piece. This example features an original Caliber 59 movement and retains its classic Centregraph configuration, offering both strong collector appeal and timeless military-inspired aesthetics. The watch is currently running smoothly and keeping accurate time. It presents in honest vintage condition, with signs of use and age consistent with a genuine wartime-era timepiece. The dial, hands, case, and movement are original, preserving the integrity and authenticity that serious collectors value. The watch is fitted with a brand new high-end black leather strap.
