This watch was ordered by a British RAF bomber pilot, Flight Lieutenant Gerald A. D. Imeson, whilst a Prisoner of War in Stalag Luft III. It was sent to him at the camp via the International Red Cross in Geneva. He was the pilot of Wellington bomber R1219 of 101 Squadron that was shot down and crashed into the North Sea in October 1941. Stalag Luft III was the scene of the ‘Great Escape’ in 1944 where he was involved with tunnel preparations and allocated No. 172 in the escape plan. Early in 1945 he and all the other POWs in the camp were force-marched across Germany in extreme winter conditions on what became known as the ‘Long March’. This watch accompanied him throughout his ordeal as a POW until liberation in May 1945. Condition Report: Overall the watch is in good, original condition. The hand wound movement is currently running with a good action and the chronograph feature functions correctly. The original black dial has good patina with slight fading around the hour numerals, noticeable with an eyeglass. Original hands show very light pitting. The steel case is in good condition with slight bruising and scratches evident (as would be expected). One chronograph pusher has end plating worn away (the other was replaced by Rolex during a service in 1980). Leather strap and buckle are not original to the watch. As with all watches sold, we do not guarantee the accuracy or working of this watch and would recommend it is serviced before use. “Rolex have confirmed that their records show that Chronograph ref 3525, s/n 186052 was produced by them in 1941”.
