Note: Grana were responsible for supplying service wristwatchse to the British Army during WW2.  Grana A.T.P., and W.W.W watches are particularly desirable on account of their extreme rarity. This example is a part of a small consignment of Grana contract watches which were designated 'W.W.W specification' with white,  A.T.P dials. These may have been the first consignment of W.W.W. watches before the introduction of black dials.

Additional notes:  A comparative example  is illustrated in the notable publication British Military Timepieces by Knirim, [page 553]. The serial number for the watch illustrated  in Knirim's book ['M 2119'] is particularly close to the serial number of this Dirty Dozen Grana watch.

Dirty Dozen rarity factor: 10/10
