This was one of 12 companies that produced watches for the British Military in WWII, This version, although one of the most produced versions is very popular due to its size and case material. Despite its relatively healthy production run compared to others (20,000 pieces, according to estimates), Cyma’s Dirty Dozen Watch is a favorite of many due to the sizing of its case (a somewhat contemporary 37mm) and its construction in stainless steel, a quality material that was rare at the time due to wartime shortages. Inside is the mechanical Caliber 234, with 15 jewels. I have purchased a perfect replica A.F.0210 strap in Khaki as this is likely to have been the colour originally issued with this watch as Cyma's were predominantly issued to the British Army. The watch condition is as you would expect of a watch 80 years old and works well although I would recommend a service by a watchmaker comfortable with these movements. A true momento to the heroes of WWII. Please note that the movement has not been professionally tested for the accuracy of time and may need a service at the buyer's expense.
