This is an completely original 3/4 size Vintage Rolex military watch, reference number 2280, circa 1940’s The Oyster stainless steel case is in very good condition, and watch is fully signed Rolex on the dial, case, movement and crown which is very rare for these small sized Canadian issued Rolexes. The rare original winding crown still locks down properly and is signed Rolex Oyster. The movement is a 10 1/2 Hunter, Observatory Quality movement, signed Rolex on the winding wheel. The watch was just fully serviced by our watchmaker and is keeping excellent time. The dial is
original and has an appropriate vintage look with patina and some light spotting but has not lost any of it’s lettering. Small Rolex Oyster watches of this type were designed and sold to CANADIAN soldiers going overseas in WW2. These vintage military OYSTER watches are becoming very hard to find in original and fine condition such as this! Rolex military watch measures 30mm across (not including crown) x 35mm (lug to lug). The distance between lugs (bracelet width) is 16mm, and watch is fit with a new leather strap.
