From Darlor Watch in Ontario, Canada. Great watchmaker, wonderful guy, and extremely knowledgeable about vintage watches.

This vintage watch was made by the Waltham factory for the Canadian Military R.C.A.F. (Royal Canadian Air Force). It is genuine and all original hands including luminous material, dial, crown. The dial has never been refinished at all. Never been polished. All markings are the real thing, after all these years, and the watch must have many stories to tell!

All original RCAF markings are on the back. Screw in nickel back signed "Keystone" for the Waltham watch factory.

The case is 30mm wide, not including the large crown. Lug width 16mm. Waltham High Grade World War II Military movement 6/0-42 with 16 jewels, with protective inner dust cover. In pristine condition.

I have been searching for a vintage military watch for a long, long time. Soon as I saw this one on darlor-watch.com, I knew it was the one. I don't have a large watch collection, and like to wear all the watches as much as possible. This little beauty is all the military vintage watch I need.

Thanks for looking at this little beauty! I will get great pleasure out of wearing this often. The small size is all part of the history and charm.

Cheers,
Carl
