Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Ref. 15000 circa 1982
When it comes to the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date, in my opinion, they don’t come any more classic than this. With a stainless steel Oyster case, smooth polished bezel and dramatic black dial, it’s a perfect everyday wristwatch. Automatically wound, the watch is powered by Rolex’s calibre 3035 which has both a hack feature for accurate time setting and a provision for quick date change via its secondary crown setting. A great example of the model and just as alluring now as it was 42 years ago.

Revue / Dorley Cal. 73 circa 1945
A beautiful mid-1940s rectangular wristwatch, this model has a two-tone salmon pink dial with gilded Arabic numerals and hands. Cased in steel and with excellent shaping, the rectangular upper body has chamfers to its edges and the case back is curved to fit the contour of the wrist. This watch is in lovely original condition and has fixed bar lugs that are still fitted with a vintage leather strap and pin buckle.
Omega Ref. 2292 Royal Navy circa 1944
This Ref. 2292 was made for the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm (FAA) division. It is very similar to the Ref. 2292 watches that Omega also made for the RAF but the FAA versions are rarer and have a few noticeable differences. Firstly, the case back is engraved with the Hydrographic Survey mark adjacent to the military broad arrow. Most notable, however, is the fact that spring bars were used for the majority of FAA Ref. 2292 wristwatches, rather than the fixed bar lugs of the Air Ministry watches. This, of course, means that the watch can be worn with a standard two-piece strap rather than a one-piece pull through; it is fitted with a fully stitched vintage leather strap.
During the Second World War, the British military ordered watches from a number of different manufacturers, these included the Ref. 2292 from Omega.The dial and hands were especially made by Omega for this model and were designed for use by pilots and navigators.
Omega Cal. 37.5l circa 1930
A remarkable Art Deco Omega pocket watch, the movement and case serial numbers of this watch date it to circa 1930. The silvered dial has a most unusual and extremely attractive layout with silver foil square and baton hour markers which match the mirror finished foil ring at the dial’s edge. And then there are those hands: big, bold and in wonderfully rich blued steel with their tips emerging from squares, as well as square bosses to their bases, perfectly styled to continue the theme of the dial. The steel circular case has a sharp chamfer to the bezel while the case sides and back have entirely flat surfaces save for a shallow chamfer to the edge of the back.
Omega Dynamic Ref. 166.039 circa 1969
Omega introduced the Ref. 166.039 Genève Dynamic in 1969. This example of the model has a black dial with matching black date ring. Elliptically shaped, the case is relatively large for a vintage model with a 41.5mm width. The Omega branded leather strap is vintage and may well be the original, and this is also fitted with a steel Omega buckle. Powered by the automatic Omega calibre 565 with 24 jewels and precision regulation, this watch also has provision for quick date change. If the date requires manual advancement, this can be achieved by pulling the crown out to its second position.
Omega Ref. 136.0098 circa 1972
A classic steel Omega model, this wristwatch has a silvered satin finished dial and applied baton indexes. Manually wound, the watch is powered by the 17-jewel Omega calibre 613 that has provision for quick date change.
