Notes
Engraved on the back: "W10-99 - 523-8290 - KK" with the "broad
arr ow" in between - 130/77.
This watch was used by the Kenyan Forces.
It is rather peculiar for its monolithic tonneau case, a system
adopted by the British Forces. To have access to the movement,
one has to extract the winding-crown and the front glass.
