"Omega has provided the British military with a number of sought after watches on the collector’s market and this 1953 RAF issue watch is no exception. This watch was issued for one year only, making it a rare and interesting piece. With Omega’s seventeen jewel calibre 283, combining shock setting and anti-magnetic protection, fitted in a stainless steel case with screw down back, it was a tough watch, well suited for its purpose."
