DIAL OF THE IWC BOAC

DID THE IWC MADE FOR BOAC HAVE ONE THAT WAS USED THRU IT'S CAREER OR WERE
THERE VARIATIONS. I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANY ONLINE PICTURES.

Dear Mr. Gordon,

As far as I know there are 2 dial variations.

I wrote an article on the Mk 11 B.O.A.C.

Please send your email address to :
avdmeijden@skynet.be and I will mail you the
article with the images.

To help you on the way :

The oldest dial is exactly the same as the oldest classic RAF Mk 11 "white 12'
dial but without the broad arrow and without the triangle at 12 o'clock. It
has radium lume.

The second dial is the same as the later classic RAF Mk 11 Tritium dial with
the encircled 'T' but again without broadarrow because the B.O.A.C. Mk 11 was
not a military timepiece.

Are you sure, you are right Adrian?

To my observation we have (a) the white 12 (without Broad Arrow), (b) the
classic white triangle instead of the numeral 12 (without Broad Arrow and
without any hint to Tritium as these were supplied before Radium was replaced
by Tritium, and (c) watches with the classic )white triangle instead of the
numeral 12, no encircled T, but T Swiss T in the old version at the 6 o'clock
position. So no encircled T on any BOAC according to my observations.

Hi Thomas,

You are right ( of course ) on the encircled 'T'. It is not present on any of
the B.O.A.C. dials.

The pictures in my article confirm your statement.

Regards,

Adrian.
