Antique 8 Day Non-luminous Military Royal Flying Corps Pocket Watch Working. Issued between 1914 and 1917, WW1.

This truly is a beautiful piece of military history. The Royal Flying Corps (RFC) was the air arm of the British Army before and during the First World War until it merged with the Royal Naval Air Service on 1 April 1918 to form the Royal Air Force.

During the early part of the war, the RFC supported the British Army by artillery co-operation and photographic reconnaissance. This work gradually led RFC pilots into aerial battles with German pilots and later in the war included the strafing of enemy infantry and emplacements, the bombing of German military airfields and later the strategic bombing of German industrial and transport facilities. Condition - great condition overall. Case has minor surface scratches with the some deeper scratches, there also is some slight dings, Dial is great with the odd spec of dirt. Plexi has been professionally polished some minor surface scratches may remain.

Tested and winds up and keeps time good time. Country of manufacture - swiss.

Case Material - chromium plated. I personally change or polish crystal/Plexiglass to a high standard and straps plus test the watches for efficiency unless specified in title and description. The pictures provided form part of the description and should be checked thoroughly. I do not service the watches, only refurbish unless specified in title/description. If I have changed something I will detail it in the listing. All stock is stored in a secure facility until sale and therefore extra pictures cannot be provided. In working/serviced condition watches are guaranteed by -5/+5 minutes and is checked manually, item in working condition and keeps time to the best of my knowledge and runs for at least 12+ hours, give or take -5/+5 minutes over 24 hours from a full wind, unless specified in the description.

With any vintage watch not serviced, there could be a few minutes lost or gained over 24 hours. Item has been wound and left stationary running over night and face up, to make sure the watch is functional. The best way to describe a vintage watch is like an old car, regular servicing, oil and care will keep your watch healthy and improve longevity.
