The Omega "Dirty Dozen" is one of 12 brands commissioned by the British Ministry of Defense (MoD) during World War II, inscribed with WWW on the reverse (Watch, Wrist, Waterproof), the necessary engraving served as a means of identifying the watch as government property; to be part of the so-called "Dirty Dozen" the watches had to have a black dial, Arabic numerals, luminous hour and minute hands, luminous hour markers, a railroad minute track, a shatterproof crystal, and a stainless-steel case.
Said stainless steel case is superb - crisp, sharp and strong - the crown is oversized as it should be, and turns with confidence on the wind
The broad arrow hands show the original radium lume fully intact, which match the number plots - both of which have turned to the most attractive warm brown (not the lurid green which some did)
The white numerals are near faultless, with no missing material, and all white printing crisp and preserved
The watch has been inspected and regulated by our trusted watchmaker, and is currently running and keeping excellent time
As with all Mann About Time purchases, included is a bespoke leather travel pouch hand made in Italy, plus tote bag

What is everyone saying?
I recently had the pleasure of buying a watch from Robin, a vintage watch dealer who truly stands out amongst the crowd. His exceptional communication and genuine passion for watches made the entire experience delightful from start to finish. Robin is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a wonderful person to chat with, and was very much willing to go the extra mile at all times. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and enjoyable watch-buying experience - I'll certainly be back again in the future...!
I had a great experience buying a watch from Robin @ Mann about time.
Robin really facilitated my purchase journey, and created a climate of trust with his great knowledge of watches, in particular Rolex and Guilt GMT, but also with his high level of professionalism.
I would buy another watch from him with confidence.
Robin Mann … how to make this brief: First, an experienced and discriminating curator with a superb eye for quality, condition, character, artfulness and fine detail. Next, an absolute pleasure to communicate with. Then, presentation, packaging, and professionalism makes his entire exchange process simply … perfect.
Robin has created the standard for the vintage watch experience ….. cannot wait for the next one. Oh, and last, but not least … a really nice guy.
Thank you, Robin.
Ive known Robin for many years now , from when he was an art dealer, and when he told me that he’s started selling vintage watches, I knew I was in biiiiiiiig trouble. A vintage watch dealer that you can trust could only mean 1 thing: my bank balance would start dwindling and I was about to embark on an exhilarating ride collecting some of the most iconic vintage timepieces- His taste for chronographs is impeccable , his eye for discovering authentic pieces is truly astouding and his prices are more than fair : Within 2 years Robin’s managed to source 3 grail watches for me; a vintage sub, Pepsi gmt, and a 1016 explorer. He’s the best vintage watch dealer in the game and I cant recommend him highly enough!
