With a rectangular movement fitted in a circular case by Gerlach, one of the finest case makers of the golden era, this beautiful vintage Omega is a textbook specimen of an investment grade classic wristwatch.

In lovely condition, this is a very rare example of the Longines watches that were manufactured with the patented Weems system of second hand syncronisation. We see very few of this fascinating wartime model on the market.

A convincing case could be made that this is a better watch on every level than its Rolex equivalent of the same era. Its quality is second to none, literally, and its rare case style one of the most attractive on this site.

Especially online, there are, sadly, a myriad of fake watches purporting to be ex-Luftwaffe pilots’ models. This example is guaranteed to be the real thing and is authentic throughout, right down to its original stamped airforce code to the case back.

Very difficult to find in this condition, this delightful item is the perfect example of the watches sold by Rolex to the Canadian market. It is complete with its Oyster shaped box and, quite incredibly, its original Rolex guarantee document.

In an exceptionally rare stylised case and with a two-tone art deco quartered dial, this is one of the finest ladies’ Rolex Oysters that we have owned for some time. Boxed and immaculate, it would make the perfect gift or investment piece.

In superb condition throughout, this war era ladies’ IWC is an exceptionally fine collector’s item. We see very few vintage IWC ladies’ watches and to come across one in this state of preservation is quite an event.

Manufactured when Europe was deep in World War II, this piece is an immaculate example of the Rolex Oysters largely created for the Canadian market. Its dial is one of the most eye catching to have been used by Rolex during this era.

A better example of a wartime Rolex Oyster would be difficult to locate at any price. With its original hands and winding crown, this watch has a striking visual appearance and is a classic collector’s item.

Vintage Omega watches don’t get much more interesting than this. Originally a 1944 Omega Mark VII pilot’s watch, this piece was officially re-cased by the British Ministry of Defence in 1956 before acquiring a civilian dial after disposal.
