Description
This 30.5mm all-original and correct, 1940s stainless steel Oyster Junior Sport is becoming harder and harder to find! Made by Rolex for the Canadian market only, these watches were sold at PX military stores in WW2 to soldiers going overseas. The smaller case size made them less likely to get damaged during battle. This case is the rarer variety, having a rounded, convex bezel and has not been polished to retain the originality. The dials are interesting and complicated on these Oysters. This dial has Arabic numerals, outer seconds track, inner mirrored minute track, along with sub-seconds is all original. This dial also has the rarer “EXTRA PRIMA” curved print. This watch retains the original Oyster-patented winding crown, which is also in excellent shape. The caliber 59 (correctly signed “ROLEX” under the dial) is accurate. These are very collectable WW2 military Rolex watches!
