The time’s up for a member of the ‘Dirty Dozen’ as it prepares to go under the hammer at a Shropshire fine art auction next week! In this instance, it’s not the famous 1967 movie starring Lee Marvin and his band of 12 condemned soldiers who undertake a daring mission in Nazi-occupied France. Instead, it’s one of a group of 12 collectable watches commissioned by the British Ministry of Defence to be durable, accurate and reliable, which were named the 'Dirty Dozen'. The watch, made by Cyma, is expected to fetch between £800 to £1,200 when it’s sold at Halls Fine Art’s silver, jewellery and watches auction in Shrewsbury on January 17.
