Omega 6B/159 RAF Pilot’s Wristwatch c.1943
These beautiful wristwatches were issued to RAF navigators and pilots during the Second World War.
RAF watches from this period were supplied by several prestigious watch manufacturers, including Longines, Jaeger-LeCoultre and Omega. The majority of these watches followed a standard specification, which included a white dial with black Arabic numerals, centre seconds and blued steel non-luminous hands.
These watches are commonly referred to by their RAF stores reference number 6B/159. This RAF stores reference refers to aircraft navigation equipment.
The Omega 6B/159 watch for sale was produced around 1943 at the heart of WW2 and is undoubtedly one of the very best examples you could ever hope to find.
The wonderful Omega 6B/159 for sale represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a superb piece of British WW2 aviation history.
The watch for sale is one of five being sold under our SAS (Sign-A-Strap) Campaign on behalf of the UK-registered charity, Veterans With Dogs.
Our campaign aims to increase awareness of the charity’s important work and raise them some much-needed funds.
Our objective is to raise £1,000 for Veterans With Dogs. To do this, we have pledged a donation of £200 for each of the five pre-selected watches sold.
To aid us in our mission, we are delighted to have recruited the kind help and support of legendary SAS veteran and TV personality, Mark “Billy” Billingham MBE.
Each watch comes with a special maroon NATO strap personally signed by Billy, together with a signed copy of his fantastic book, Further.
Free worldwide delivery via DHL is also included.
