1940s Vertex Dirty Dozen Military Watch – Cal. 59

In this episode of our Under the Radar series, @craftandtailored watch market weather vane Tyler Vanes takes a close look at a true piece of military history: a 1940s Vertex military watch powered by a cal 59 movement. This watch makes part of the 'Dirty Dozen' of watches ordered by the Ministry of Defense with the aim of providing combat-ready wristwatches to British troops fighting in the Second World War. It's a beautiful watch that should drive any history or military enthusiast crazy, but it's also a watch that suits contemporary casual wear brilliantly. One thing is certain, no matter where the hands point: it's always time to hunt Nazis with a “Dirty Dozen” military watch on your wrist! Tyler explains why he thinks this Vertex is more than just a fantastic watch, but an undervalued piece.
