NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU? We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers with a 5.0 star rating on other online sites. 1940's ROLEX WWII British Military Vintage Antique Mens 52mm Pocket Watch - Nickel Beautiful All-Original Condition - World War II Era - Fully Serviced - 1 Year Warranty Today's offering showcases this very cool and historically significant Rolex pocket watch specially made for the British military during the World War II era. Marked with the military case number B8454, it was built to serve in active duty under the harsh conditions of wartime Europe. Imagine the history this watch has witnessed: tucked in the tunic pocket of a British officer, or carried aboard a naval vessel during wartime operations across Europe. As both a precision instrument and a military artifact, it holds a quiet gravity - and a story it will never fully tell. During World War II, as Britain mobilized its forces for global conflict, the need for precise and durable timepieces became critical. To equip its servicemen—from pilots and navigators to infantry officers—the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) commissioned wristwatches and pocket watches built to their exacting military standards. These timepieces were designated and tracked using a now-historic symbol: the Broad Arrow. The Broad Arrow, a stylized arrowhead pointing upward, has deep roots in British history. Originally used as a royal property mark as far back as the 16th century, it became the official stamp of the War Department. When engraved on a timepiece, the Broad Arrow denoted that the watch was government property—purpose-built and issued specifically for military use. These watches weren’t just government-issued—they were engineered for the battlefield. The Ministry set strict specifications for water resistance, shock protection, dial legibility, and accuracy. Watches bearing the Broad Arrow had to meet these rigorous standards, making them some of the most reliable instruments of their era. They were tools of survival, not fashion—built to function in the demanding conditions of air, land, and sea warfare. Among the most respected of these were Rolex’s military-issue watches, including wristwatches and pocket watches. Rolex was already renowned for precision and durability, and their military-issued timepieces quickly became prized by the men who depended on them. Many of these Rolexes were not marked on the dial but bore military engravings on the case back—including the Broad Arrow, military codes, and issue numbers. For collectors, Broad Arrow watches are more than rare artifacts—they are tangible links to the personal histories of soldiers and the broader story of WWII. Most were worn by someone who served on the front lines of history. Their rugged construction and purposeful design reflect the era’s gravitas, while their provenance gives them significance in our planet's story of human history. Our all-original Broad Arrow Rolex measures a substantial 52mm in diameter and features a thick nickel case which was distinctively designed to *not* have a bow, a highly legible white enamel dial with easy-to-read Arabic numerals, and a subsidiary seconds register for precision timing. The outside of the caseback is engraved with the official British broad arrow, denoting government property, and the military number, B8454. Inside is the reliable 15-jewel Rolex caliber 548 manual movement designed for durability and consistent performance, a necessity for officers and naval personnel who relied on accurate timekeeping for critical mission coordination. We are pleased to offer it in very well-preserved all-original condition. Its case, which appears never to have been polished, is in excellent condition. Its military number is also strongly stamped on the outer case band. Please inquire if you would like a photo. Its white enamel dial is original and untouched is in gorgeous condition - appears mint even under magnification. And its fine, Rolex movement is very clean. One of our Master Watchmakers, who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealer and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center to be an authorized Rolex watchmaker, has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, installing a new mainspring, re-pinning the regulator stud for pendant carry, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $695 value). It is keeping accurate time. Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity. Like certain other very rare and early Rolex watches, we think these Broad Arrow watches remain undervalued. At a time when the value of the Rolex crown continues to outpace that of most other watches, these uncommon watches with significant military provenance remain remarkably affordable - more affordable than even an entry level 1960's Rolex wristwatch like the Oysterdate which was made in the hundreds of thousands of units. Whether you're a Rolex collector or someone passionate about World War II-era militaria, this cool British military issued Rolex represents a rare intersection of horology, history, and heritage.

Die steigende Beliebtheit von Vintage-Rolex-Uhren ist für Liebhaber, Sammler und Branchenexperten keine Überraschung. Wenn es um zeitgenössische Luxusarmbanduhren geht, ist Rolex oft die erste Marke, die einem in den Sinn kommt. Das Unternehmen ist nicht nur für seine präzise Zeitmessung und tadellose Handwerkskunst bekannt, sondern auch für seinen einprägsamen Namen.

Die beneidenswerte weltweite Anerkennung von Rolex ist zum Teil dem Genie des Firmengründers Hans Wilsdorf zu verdanken. Als der in Deutschland geborene Uhrenhändler und sein Schwager Alfred Davis 1905 ihr Londoner Unternehmen gründeten, nannten sie es Wilsdorf & Davis, gemäß der traditionellen Formel.

Aber Wilsdorf war entschlossen, sich einen anderen Namen auszudenken, der kurz war, auf einem Zifferblatt gut aussah und in mehreren Sprachen leicht auszusprechen und zu merken war. Im Jahr 1908 ließ er den Namen Rolex markenrechtlich schützen. 1920 verlegte er das Unternehmen nach Genf und benannte es in Montres Rolex S.A. um.

Die Hauptgründe für den Erfolg der Marke sind jedoch das bereits erwähnte Engagement für Präzision und das unermüdliche Streben nach Innovation. Im Jahr 1926 führte das Unternehmen das treffend benannte Modell Oyster ein. Mit einer verschraubten Krone und einem verschraubten Gehäuseboden, beide mit Gummidichtungen versehen, war dies die erste wirklich wasserdichte Uhr.

Fünf Jahre später setzte Rolex mit der Oyster Perpetual noch einen drauf. Das patentierte Perpetual-Uhrwerk dieses Modells verfügte über einen Rotormechanismus, der es ihm ermöglichte, sich selbst aufzuziehen. Ein weiterer richtungsweisender Schritt war 1945 die Einführung der Datejust, die ein Datumsfenster auf dem Zifferblatt aufwies.

Die beiden bekanntesten Modelle des Unternehmens sind Sportuhren. Obwohl die Submariner, die 1953 auf den Markt kam, als Taucheruhr entwickelt wurde, machten ihr wasserdichtes Gehäuse, ihre solide Konstruktion und ihr gutes Aussehen sie zu einem Liebling von Abenteurern und Städtern gleichermaßen, einschließlich James Bond, der sie in Klassikern wie Dr. No und Goldfinger trug. Die Daytona, der durch Paul Newman berühmt gewordene Rennchronograph , ist bei Sammlern besonders begehrt. Newmans persönlicher Daytona, der 2017 versteigert wurde, erzielte einen Preis von 17,8 Millionen Dollar.
