Eaglemoss Military Watches Collection.

In the early 1940s the British Ministry of Defence drew up new specifications for a replacement for the British Army Trade Pattern watch (ATP), the new watch would be called the Waterproof Wrist Watch or WWW.

12 Swiss manufacturers supplied these watches including Longines, Omega, IWC and Jeager Le Coultre.
There were such large numbers purchased that they continued to be issued from 1945 right through until the early 1990s

NB:The inclusion of both the centre sweep hand and fake seconds dial caused a huge backlash against the whole collection, For subscribers the watch was packaged along with the RNAS pocket watch, which actually featured a functioning sub dial using a similarly sized movement, so the inclusion of a working sub dial would not have been difficult to achieve.

Eaglemoss made statements assuring that no further fake dials would be produced. which has been the case to date but the reputation of the collection has suffered.
