FootnotesDuring the Second World War the British Ministry of Defence tasked 12 watch companies with the role of producing watches that were fit for military action. These companies were Buren, Cyma, Eterna, Grana, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lemania, Longines, IWC, Omega, Record, Timor, and Vertex. Of all of the watches created it is estimated that Grana produced the lowest number making it the rarest one to come across and of particular importance to those looking to complete their 'Dirty Dozen' collection.Read MoreAdditional informationAuction informationBonhams cannot arrange for the delivery of lots containing mother of pearl or ruby into the United States due to import restrictions.Please note that in some circumstances we are unable to ship the watch with its strap due to regulations regarding material derived from endangered or otherwise protected species.The buyer or designated agent may collect the property in the country of sale.For information and estimates on domestic and international shipping please contact ThePackengers on:
