Produced by a number of world  class Swiss watchmakers, including not only Omega but Longines and Jaeger LeCoultre, 6B/159 models were issued to both navigators and RAF pilots during World War II however Omega was the primary supplier of watches to the RAF. Before radar and GPS, timekeeping was crucial when it came to the position of the aircraft and it was up to the aircraft navigators to provide accurate information.

This example is in excellent vintage condition with one of the nicest dials we have seen.

All the case is in tact. It has had civilian springbars installed for ease of strap change, and choice. The originals can be re installed if needed.

All working perfectly in good order.
