A storied vintage military-style timepiece from the historic West End Watch Co., the Secundus Prima is a classic example of post-war utilitarian design. Featuring a bold black dial with luminous numerals and cathedral-style hands, this watch was built for legibility and reliability. Its manually wound Swiss movement is housed in a rugged Everbright case, with the signature West End emblem on the caseback and military-style fixed lugs.
Originally supplied for use in British and Indian military markets, this model’s heritage and honest wear tell the story of its time. For collectors of wartime or field watches, this is an authentic piece of history.
