Bovet Military Mechanical
£1,210.00
This 32mm vintage military watch is a remarkable and fully authentic timepiece, with a rich history and in excellent working condition. The sapphire crystal has some normal marks and a small crack at 10 o’clock, but this doesn’t impact the integrity of the watch. The original brass case, showing light wear from over 80 years of history, is included along with the protective chromed nickel case, a rare bonus. Fully functioning and serviced a few years ago, this watch has been running accurately and will continue to do so, though a future service may be required. The red seconds hand, clear minute markers, and flowing seconds hand make it both visually striking and highly practical—especially for military use. With a great size, minimal wear, and all original components (except the strap), this timepiece is a rare collector’s piece that’s ready to be enjoyed for decades to come. A fabulous investment and a statement piece, this iconic watch is becoming rarer by the day and offers both style and history in one incredible package.

32mm Vintage Military Watch
This 32mm vintage military watch is an exceptional find, with a remarkable history and completely original authenticity. The sapphire crystal, though with a few normal marks and a small crack at 10 o'clock (which doesn’t affect the watch’s integrity), tells the story of its past. The brass case, which has been with the watch since its inception, is sturdy and shows light wear from its 80+ years, further proof of the care and value the original owner placed on it. You will also receive the original protective case, a rarity in itself.
Fully functional and serviced a few years ago, this timepiece is a collector's dream. It's been running accurately for the past two days and will continue to run smoothly, though a future service may be needed if it starts to run a bit fast after long-term use. The red seconds hand, flowing seconds feature, and easily readable minutes dial make this military watch not only beautiful but practical. The chromed nickel case is in great condition, as is the case back, and the watch winds beautifully. The strap, though a replacement, is easily swapped, and will fit wrists over 220mm comfortably.
Owning this watch has been a privilege, and now it’s ready for a new custodian to continue its journey for the next 80 years. As one of the finest watches from a leading brand, this timepiece is an investment that will only appreciate in value and rarity. A huge statement piece on the wrist, it's a timeless reminder of history, accuracy, and quality craftsmanship.
