About the Smiths W10

The Smiths W10 is one of the most recognised British military watches of the late 1960s. Issued to the British Army, these watches were built for military service and today remain highly desirable among collectors of military timepieces and restoration specialists.

Original military cases with correct issue markings are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly examples retaining clear military engravings.
