Title: Large Heavy Steel WWW Broad Arrow Cyma
Description: NEARMINT condition. This awesome British MoD (Ministry of Defense) "broad arrow" WWW (Wrist Watch Waterproof) military issue time piece was completely serviced about a year ago by the previous owner. The dial is original and despite some fading it is in superb condition and has its original luminescent dots. The hands may be original or replacements but they are the correct shape and certainly have been (if original) refilled with new luminescent material. This design is known for heavy screw on waterproof back, anti-magnetic dust cover for the robust hand wound Swiss made Cyma movement, fixed spring bars and non-shattering acrylic crystals. Many manufacturers supplied www watches to the MoD but most were chrome plated cases with steel backs. Few, except the Cyma were made entirely of steel. The difference is dramatic. Chrome plated cases will not survive refurbishing or buffing of any kind and they have a much shorter lifespan. The slotted back is fully marked and perfect. This is a nickelled split 3/4 plate 15j movement with an uncut screw balance containing an overcoil hairspring. A Bond style Nato strap is attached. Measures 38.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 46 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$490} Item #4636 SOLD
