Part of the well know and well collected 'Dirty Dozen' collection of British military watches from WW2. The Buren being one of the 12 brands the Ministry of Defence contracted to supply watches to be used by Military personal throughout the war.
The Buren although not the rarest of them all (thought to be 25,000 made) it is one that is becoming increasingly harder to find that remains original without having had work carried out to the dial. This is one that although shows some of the lume missing from the hands it does appear to be original both the dial and the hands and also not refinsiehd.
Black Matte dial with off white stained original hour markers and track, subsidiary seconds to the bottom of the dial. As with all Dirty Dozen watches and the requirement of the MOD the black dial contrasts with the hands and hour markers to make for easy reading.
35mm stainless steel case, fixed rigid pin bars, manual wind. Dial signed Buren and with the MOD Broad Arrow. Caseback markings clearly visible.
A really good example of a Dirty Dozen watch.
As a military watch from the 1940's this watch will of course show wear and tear consistent with the purpose and age of the watch. Case itself appears in excellent condition and watch in good order throughout.
