Having an original stamp from the 40’s on a Rolex like this is truly rare.Hodinkee in Cuervo Y Sobrinos, Rolex, Rolex Oyster, Vintage Tuesday, June 3, 2008 at 6:59PM We love a good military piece here at Hodinkee.However, it seems that swiss replica watches whenever we find a good one it is from the German or British forces, and rarely from the US.That is all about to change.We have found an original US Army issued Omega from 1945.This watch was designed specifically for the US and was delivered in one shipment of 10,000 units.This watch is 35mm in size and feature a manual Omega movement with a center-sweep second hand.This Omega is triple signed (case, movement, dial) and is in excellent condition.
The price of this 1940s Military Replica Ulysse Nardin watches is $1699 which is, if you ask us, a tad on the high side.While this is a great looking old Omega, it does not appear to be a really high quality movement.That being said, we have a strong feeling many of you out there have some grandparents or parents who would LOVE this Omega as a gift if they served in WWII.Click here for the details of this 1947 Omega Army, one of the only Swiss-made watches to be issued to the United States Military during the 1940s.
