Original WW2 British Army Swiss made Pocket Watch Marked G.S.T.P. 109822

Here on offer is a genuine WW2 British Army, military issed, Swiss made pocket watch that appears to be in good working order.

I have had it running for a few days now (winding it daily) but as with all mechanical pocket watches I can’t guarantee it will be working after a journey through the postal system. I will however securely wrap and protect it for transit.

This type was the main pocket watch used by the British Army during WW2 and was known as the GSTP or GS/TP watch. This is believed to stand for General Service Time Piece or General Service Trade Pattern i.e. a watch bought from the watch trade.

As war broke out in 1939, the British military faced shortages and acquired Swiss-made pocket watches from various manufacturers, for precise timekeeping in the field. These GSTP watches, with 15-jewel movements, luminous dials, and subsidiary seconds, became essential tools for soldiers.

This example features a durable base metal chrome plated open-face case with snap-on back and bezel. White enamel dial with Arabic numerals and luminous hands and dial. It has a subsidiary second’s dial at 6 o’clock, below which it is inscribed “Swiss Made”. There is no makers name that I can see on this example.

On the back it is stamped with the British Broad Arrow symbol, G.S.T.P. and the army reference/serial number 109822.

There is some loss of plating to the case as can be seen in my photos.
The hard plastic cover is in great condition, with no cracks just some very slight age yellowing.

The back cover can be removed with a sharp knife blade and the movement is just stamped:

SWISS MADE

The pocket watch is 2” (5cm) diameter and weighs 83g.
