Vintage Rolex Oyster Royal Observatory WW2 Men’s Military Watch

Up for sale is a vintage Rolex Oyster Royal Observatory men’s military wristwatch from the World War II era. Watches of this type were produced during a unique period in Rolex history, often featuring variations in dial configurations and case construction depending on the market and wartime production conditions. This example features the highly desirable “Oyster Royal Observatory” configuration, complete with a classic military-style dial including Arabic numerals, an outer 24-hour track, and a small seconds register at 6 o’clock. The dial has developed a beautiful, even patina over time, adding to the watch’s vintage character. The watch is in full working condition and is running and holding accurate time. The watch retains all of its original components aside from the strap and is fitted on an aftermarket genuine Rolex ostrich leather strap with a genuine era-correct Rolex steel buckle. This combination complements the watch well while maintaining a period-correct appearance. This example is powered by its original high-end 17 jewel movement, which is more desirable and less commonly encountered than lower jewel variants from the period. The case size is approximately 29.5 mm not including the crown. The watch is in absolutely fantastic physical condition and shows signs of use and age consistent with a vintage piece. Nothing on the watch has been redone, and all original parts remain intact. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.
