Description
For sale here is a rare and very collectible CWC 6BB from 1979. It is estimated that only 2,400 of these CWC 6BBs were issued to the RAF, only in 1979 making good examples like this one incredibly rate.
The front-loading/monocoque, 35mm, brushed stainless steel, tonneau-shaped case is a comfortable wear on the wrist. The case back is correctly stamped 6BB-6645-99 / 523-8290 / 2133/79 with the Military BroadArrow one of the last ever to be issued.
It has correct fixed bar military lugs.
Inside is the mechanical manual wind CWC caliber movement with hacking function for accurate military time synchronisation.
The watch is fully serviced by us, running strongly and under free warranty for a year.
A domed crystal sits above a matte black dial. The wide minute track has pips that are coated in Tritium and large, Arabic numerals mark the hours. The hour and minute, sword-shaped hands are also coated in Tritium. The text is printed precisely with the T in a circle signifying Tritium. At 6 o’clock the Broad Arrow indicated British Government property. We’ve paired the watch on a NATO strap in keep with how it was worn during action.
This is without doubt the nicest one of these rare watches we have ever seen and a great birth year watch!
