This Moeris Impermeable military watch is a rare and authentic field timepiece from the 1940s, featuring a 33mm Borgel screw-back case (FB Patent) and powered by the dependable Moeris 10 ½ ligne caliber, signed and housed in its original unpolished steel case. The watch bears all the key characteristics of wartime-issued tool watches: radium-lumed Arabic numerals, large syringe hands, and a highly legible black dial with minute track and subtle aging that reflects its service history. The case remains in remarkable, unrestored condition, preserving both the sharp lugs and the integrity of the serial and caseback engravings — “ANTIMAGNETIQUE · IMPERMEABLE · INOXYDABLE · PARE CHOCS” — denoting shock resistance and water resistance per military requirements of the era.

Inside, the Moeris Cal. 10 ½ hand-wound movement showcases traditional Swiss construction with 15 jewels, a smooth central seconds hand, and robust finishing that rivals more famous names from the same period. The movement is protected by an anti-magnetic inner dust cover, a design shared with other military-grade watches like Omega’s RAF-issued pieces or Longines “Greenlanders.” The caseback's crisp FB key logo confirms the use of a patented François Borgel case — a premium choice used by brands like Patek Philippe and Mido, favored for its superior sealing properties.

  • Case size: 33 mm (without a crown)
  • Lugs to lugs: 40 mm
  • Movement: Mechanical Moeris Cal. 10 1/2 15 jewels
  • Swiss Made
