MOERIS, case No. 2587501, A.T.P 54946, steel military wristwatch. Made circa 1940 Dial, case and movement signed, in good conditionDIAM: 33 mm THICKNESS: 10 mmNOTE: This Second World War issued watch was made by Swiss Company Moeris for the British Army early in the War and is engraved ATP along wih the Military broad arrow emblem.The initials ATP indicate this was issued as an Army Time Piece.The all original dial is in great shape for an issued piece and does have a a bit of patina on the dial. The hour markers are appled in black paint with radium dots outside of them in the minute track.The fact it uses a white dial is rare by general military specifications but all of the ATP watches I have seen did come with white dials as opposed to the later models which were issued with black dials.The watch is fitted with a 15 jewel Moeris 10 1/2 ligne movement. The solid lug bars are still fitted to the watch.
