Vintage Tudor Rolex Sky-Rocket WW2 Men’s Military Watch

For sale is an extraordinary and historically significant timepiece: a genuine Tudor by Rolex “Sky Rocket” from the World War II era. This is not a standard civilian Tudor — it is a Rolex-manufactured Tudor designed during WWII, and it stands as an extremely rare outlier in the Tudor lineup. During the war years, most military-themed and military-design watches were produced under the Rolex and Oyster Watch Company names. Tudor pieces from this period rarely carried overt military styling, making the Sky Rocket an exceptional anomaly. Even more fascinating, “Sky Rocket” is a model name also associated with Rolex and Oyster Watch Company watches of the same era, further reinforcing its direct Rolex lineage. This is a Rolex-made Tudor with true wartime DNA. Watches like this almost never surface. It is entirely possible that this example is one of the last surviving pieces — and it may never be seen for sale again. The watch retains its all-original design and is powered by a high-end original Caliber 59 movement with 17 jewels, a more desirable and harder-to-find variant than the more common 15-jewel Caliber 59 found in most wartime watches. It is currently running smoothly and keeping accurate time. On many Canadian-market wartime models, Tudor, Oyster Watch Company, and Rolex outsourced some case back production to Pioneer and ID. This is why this example is stamped “ID” on the case back. It is the original case back to the watch and correct for this period and market.
