FS: Vertex M100B "Dirty Dozen" Field Watch W.W.W. "Watch, Wrist, Waterproof" Black Limited Edition of 150 pieces
This Vertex M100B was created by the great grandson of the brand who resurrected Vertex as an original "dirty dozen" brand from the 2nd world war.
"The M100 has a 40-millimeter 316L stainless steel case (up from its forebearer's 35mm), a double-curved anti-reflective sapphire crystal (no more acrylic), and will boast 100 meters of water resistance, a fair upgrade to that of its "waterproof" ancestor. Inside is a hand-wound, top-grade ETA 7001 movement with rhodium finish and Cotes de Genève decoration, plus a ratchet wheel engraved with "VERTEX" just like the movement found in many of the company’s older watches."
"The dial of the M100 will bear obvious comparisons to the WWW watch, with a matte white on black railroad track minute scale, oversized sub-seconds register, and the famous "pheon," or crow’s foot, that indicated property of His (and later Her) Majesty’s government. Hands are a similar pencil style with luminous paint for nighttime visibility. In a bold departure however, the Arabic dial numeral markers are not painted on, but rather three-dimensional blocks of molded SuperLuminova that should leave no doubts as to the time after dark."
It comes full kit with everything as new including a Vertex Pelican hard case box and papers with NEVER WORN OEM red/black nato straps and the OEM rubber Vertex strap. This particular watch has a very low serial #1x. Only available from the UK MSRP: $3500 CAD - £2,187.00
Price: $2500 obo via Interac EMT. Longtime collector with many references.
