These watches were made by Rolex for the Canadian soldiers destined for Europe who were to be fighting in the Second World War. They required something reliable and durable. This model is very rare due to the fact that most of them were lost or never returned, hence the rarity of this model. 

Good original condition.

Accompanied by a Van Rijk certificate of authenticity and a one year warranty
