Description
The name "Vertex Dirty Dozen" refers to a specific, highly sought-after military wristwatch from the Swiss watch manufacturer Vertex. It was one of twelve different models commissioned by the British Ministry of Defence for use by British troops during World War II.
Watch enthusiasts later dubbed this set of twelve watches the "Dirty Dozen," a nickname inspired by the 1967 film classic. The Vertex watch from this collection, particularly the Vertex Cal 59 Nav model, is now among the most coveted collector's items in the militaria field.
