The Rolex Oyster Athlete as well as a the Oyster Army are 2 fairly scarce and popular Rolex models from the 1940’s  produced during the post WWII era in tribute to the patriotic spirit of the war era. No history of actual military use of these models, but each popular collector’s models. Often seen with considerable wear and case back corrosion, the current example is in remarkably pristine condition.

Your purchase includes our signature fine leather watch pouch, ideal for travel and storage, a $65.00 value.

NOTE: the apparent “halo” around the perimiter of the dial is actually a reflection of the curved edge of the crystal under the camera lighting. There is no gap or empty space at the edge of the dial.
