OMEGA "Dirty Dozen" British Army Issue ref.2892-1 SC / Broad Arrow

Since its founding in 1848, Omega has achieved a great deal.

In every era, Omega has been on the wrists of many notable people, sportsmen and explorers, watching over great achievements and the moments they happened.

Many enthusiasts feel a connection with that history, and it is fair to call Omega a byword for the brand-name watch.

This watch is a military watch Omega issued to the British Army, known as one of the "Dirty Dozen."

The broad arrow mark, indicating British government property, takes the eye.

The broad arrow is a symbol based on a trident, said to have been in use since the end of the 17th century.

The dial is matte black to prevent reflection.

Distinctive Arabic numerals you will not see today give it a very exotic quality, and with the change brought by the years the result is full of vintage appeal.

It is a military watch, but its usability whatever the occasion is part of the appeal.
